Yet this measure doesn’t consider if an employee who was supposed to be working during […]

In the past, businesses were made up of workers who dedicated their time to a singular task. However, thanks to technological advancements, employees are now expected to handle a larger and more varied to-do list with even tighter deadlines. In an effort to keep up, many workers turn to multitasking, like finishing up a report […]

Can anger facilitate a social movement?

Last summer, the murder of George Floyd sparked a series of protests, attracting crowds of about 26 million people and making the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement probably the largest social movement in the history of the U.S. But the BLM movement had a history before the summer of 2020. The movement became nationally known […]

Demystifying egalitarian pay

When most people think of pay structures, they think of merit or performance. The amount of money you get is based roughly on the quality and quantity of your contribution to the company. This is why the accountant of a company, for example, makes more than the receptionist, a more productive salesman makes more than […]

What COVID can teach us about managing stress before we burn out (again)

When my coworkers started emailing this New York Times article, I checked in with myself and my team. We were burned out. I knew it before I asked them. I saw the dark circles under their eyes, and even through Zoom, I felt how strained we all were. While nobody’s performance waivered—in fact, they continue […]

After graduation, one of the things that Michael Geleff and Heather Hewlett, respectively president and vice president of the Fox Online Student Association (FOSA) plan to do is get together and play board games.  Despite their physical distance, the two Class of 2021 graduates are friendly, joking with one another, reminiscing about their achievements in […]

Never too late; Shaun Cole returns to campus after 20 years

Cole attended Delta State University in the late 90s, pursuing a degree in […]

Rally ‘round the leader? COVID-19’s impact on approval ratings

Leaders in several countries—India, China, the U.S. and Brazil to name a few—have witnessed some level of public outrage towards the mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic. But how will their political ratings be affected as a result? Jenson Lau, a current PhD student in the Fox School’s Department of Human Resource Management, posed this question […]

Recipe for a “just-right” workplace

No business is perfect. From top-down management to lopsided raises, maintaining a successful business strategy comes with many challenges. The “perfect” organization might seem like a fairytale, but can it be a reality? In-Sue Oh, Charles E. Beury Professor of human resource management at the Fox School, found a recipe for a just-right workplace environment.  […]

The cost of being ignored

The emergence of the “Zoom Happy Hour” was not just a fun distraction from being in quarantine. Socializing with coworkers is an important and necessary component of workplace culture. And not being invited, whether to an after-work bar hop or a call-in video conference, can have an outsized emotional impact on our lives. Ryan Vogel, […]

Putting people first: Linh Nguyen on the importance of HR

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the workplace. Employers and employees have learned new ways of interacting with each other, and thanks to technology and video conferencing tools like Zoom, the transition from working in an office to a home office has been smooth for many.  But it’s not just technology that made the transition for […]

Diversity does not mean inclusivity: Patrick McKay discusses the importance of both in the workplace

A work environment that is not only diverse but inclusive is essential to the productivity of workers. Patrick F. McKay, the Fox Stanley and Franny Wang Professor of Human Resource Management, believes a diverse work environment is only the first step in helping workers feel comfortable stating their individual ideas. In a conversation with McKay, […]

Companies are feeling the pressure to use telework opportunities to satisfy employees.
