Mashup Score: 0Moving Beyond ESG - 7 hour(s) ago
It’s been a rough few years for ESG—the popular shorthand for measuring and managing a company’s environmental, social, and governance performance. Critics on the political left believe ESG is insufficient for addressing major societal issues such as climate change; critics on the right say ESG pushes a liberal agenda. The barrage of criticism has caused ESG to lose its luster among many executives. Yet the need for a transparent way to connect a company’s financial performance with its ESG performance remains. It’s time, says Oxford professor Robert G. Eccles, to take stock of ESG and chart a path forward. He acknowledges the complex challenges that still need to be resolved. Chief among them is whether to use single materiality (which focuses on shareholder value) or double materiality (which includes societal impact). In this article Eccles recommends a pragmatic approach for corporate leaders: clearly define corporate purpose, improve transparency in ESG reporting, and engage stake

Mashup Score: 5Hybrid Work Has Changed Meetings Forever - 2 day(s) ago
More than four years after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, what do we know about how meetings have (or haven’t) gotten back to “normal,” particularly amid calls back to the office? An analysis of 40 million virtual meetings from 11 organizations suggests that some habits, like using virtual meeting options even when in the office, are sticking. Further, data shows that meeting participation and camera usage correlates with retention. The authors recommend several ways for organizations to manage this new reality to better meetings, including identifying key meeting leaders and empowering them and using data to provide visibility into your organizational culture while also respecting privacy concerns.

Mashup Score: 2How the Cloud Is Changing Data Science - 4 day(s) ago
Cloud tools and technologies are influencing the future of data science work in two key areas: scaling resources and improving workforce agility. If organizations want to make use of these capabilities, though, they also need to develop strong data security and privacy frameworks when operating in a cloud environment. The author shares some examples of how organizations are doing this work.

Mashup Score: 105America’s Loneliest Workers, According to Research - 6 day(s) ago
Loneliness should be as important to managers, CFOs, and CEOs as it is to therapists. The last half-decade of research has demonstrated that loneliness threatens not only our physical health and well-being, but also our livelihood. Research shows that loneliness has the same effect as 15 cigarettes a day in terms of health care outcomes and health care costs. Lonelier workers perform more poorly, quit more often, and feel less satisfied with their jobs — costing employers billions. America’s loneliest workers are single and childless. They are well-educated, with doctors and lawyers feeling loneliest of all. They are more likely to work for the government. Most personally, America’s loneliest workers are non-heterosexual, and non-religious. What can managers and co-workers do to help lonely workers? The single most impactful leadership behavior you can undertake is to create opportunities for building shared meaning with colleagues. Understand what makes their work meaningful to them,

Mashup Score: 30Want to Be More Productive? Try Doing Less. - 8 day(s) ago
If we want to ramp up our productivity and happiness at home and at work, we should actually be doing less. But that’s incredibly difficult as you’re balancing work, parenting, friendships, and more. When you stop doing the things that make you feel busy but aren’t getting you results, then you end up with more than enough time for what matters. You can follow a simple exercise to help decide what activities on your to-do list brings you the most value, and which you can stop doing. Decide on an area of your life where you’d like to have better results and less stress. Write down the tasks you do in that area on one side of a piece of paper, and on the other, list successes you’ve had in that area. Then, identify which tasks directly contributed to those successes. Anything that didn’t directly contribute can be eliminated, greatly reduced, or delegated to someone else.

Mashup Score: 2How AI and Data Could Personalize Higher Education - 8 day(s) ago
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming and improving the ways that industries like healthcare, banking, energy, and retail operate. However, there is one industry in particular that offers incredible potential for the application of AI technologies: education. Today’s colleges and universities face a wide range of challenges, including disengaged students, high dropout rates, and the ineffectiveness of a traditional “one-size-fits-all” approach to education. But when big data analytics and artificial intelligence are used correctly and ethically, personalized learning experiences can be created, which may in turn help to resolve some of these challenges.

Mashup Score: 0Using Data to Design Your Hybrid Work Policies - 12 day(s) ago
We’ve seen how fully remote work can lead to a loss of connection and development opportunities, particularly those that require observational learning, or learning by watching someone else do it. However, people still want to work from home at least some of the time because of the greater work-life balance and personal productivity that they experience. But what is the right amount of time to be in person? How can corporate policymakers and team leaders get the best of both worlds? The authors discuss how Ernst & Young LLP (EY U.S.) has taken a data-driven approach to questions around hybrid work. Their data comparing the performance and well-being of hybrid employees with their fully in-person and remote counterparts has yielded (often surprising) insights from which other organizations may benefit.

Mashup Score: 0To Improve Health Care, Focus on Fixing Systems — Not People - 15 day(s) ago
When efforts to improve health care fall short, the failures are often blamed on leadership and culture. But the main problem often is the underlying systems. To generate better outcomes, increase safety, and improve efficiency, health care organizations should shift their focus to designing systems that facilitate delivery of the highest-quality care.
