Getting Ahead

Find a new hire's "zone of genius" to help them succeed New team members can find their footing more quickly when managers ask what kind of feedback they prefer, what challenges their new position creates and what success in their job looks like, writes Suzi McAlpine.

Philly CEOs offer perks to retain workers Philadelphia-area employers are turning to perks including rail and bus passes, free lunch, beer and kombucha tea on tap, hybrid work between home and office, and pay raises to retain their workers in a tight labor market.

Resignations are becoming a global issue Surveys show increases in employees quitting or contemplating new jobs in many countries, including the UK, France, Australia, Germany, Singapore, Spain and Japan.

A bill introduced in the House this week, the Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act, would create a three-year visa program for foreign workers looking to take jobs at non-farm small businesses, including restaurants, that are struggling in the tight labor market.
