Companies and employees are increasingly focused on finding a healthy work-life balance, but that doesn't mean the two need to be entirely separated.

A reader writes: We have a fridge at work. Up to this point, nothing I had in it was stolen (I am quite new, and others have told me that this was a problem). My food is always really, really spicy. I just love it that way. Anyway, I was sitting at my desk when my coworker came running out, having a hard time breathing. He then ran into the bathroom and started being sick.

For ACA naysayers, one argument posed is that the Affordable Care Act is all but affordable. However a recent study by Gallup suggests that most Americans can afford their health insurance, despite significant spikes in premium prices. Gallup reports that only 15.5% of Americans claim they can’t afford their health insurance. That’s a record-breaking low since Gallup first started conducting their research on health care affordability in 2008, two years before the Affordable Care Act came into e

By now we’ve all seen the October 2013 Gallup report on employee engagement, The State of the American Workplace. Words that come to mind when I re-read the report: bummer, disheartening, bad news. But I also wonder: what exactly did we expect? Look around you, managers, and you’ll see disengaged employees with the Zombie stare, some with the sour look of the disappointed, a few with the overly positive, can-do smile, trying desperately to make things work.

The DISC test is one of the most widely used personality assessments, but it shouldn’t be used for making hiring decisions. Why? Simply put, it’s not predictive of job performance. DISC assessments are based on the DISC theory of personality developed by psychologist William Marston in the 1920s. Most DISC tests measure personality along four traits that make up the DISC acronym: D ominance, I nfluence, S teadiness, and C onscientiousness.
