Picture a woman in her mid-30s assessing her options, balancing household expenses with a long‑held ambition to enter a more purpose‑driven profession. A transition into teaching or nursing holds deep meaning, yet most degree pathways require time away from a steady income and a financial commitment that demands careful planning. The desire to move forward […]
I went into this research convinced I already knew the answer. After more than a decade in People Analytics, the last few years at Meta, I had a working theory about why tech employees leave their jobs within the first year. Two things, I believed, were doing most of the damage: whether someone was getting […]
Global HR is no longer just about compliance. It’s becoming an operational infrastructure layer for distributed companies.

The 2026 AI Index from Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI documents a deepening disconnect between expert optimism and public anxiety. Gen Z anger about AI is rising fast. Employment in AI-exposed fields among younger workers is already declining. And the US has the lowest trust in its government to regulate AI of any country surveyed. […]
Dehydration is unfortunately a pretty common issue for people of all ages. Some studies suggest that as many as 75% of Americans could be chronically dehydrated at any given moment.
