Twenty years ago, typical employee benefits for new hires included two weeks of paid time off (PTO) and medical benefits. Today, a growing number of companies have expanded the idea of what a benefits package should include and are offering a number of other desirable work perks, such as unlimited PTO, pet-friendly offices, hybrid work environments, and free lunches.

Additionally, organizations that take proactive steps to ensure their staff are happy and healthy are more likely to receive positive word-of-mouth recommendations, which can […]

The global workforce has undergone an enormous shift in the past three years. In late 2019, only 7% of workers with jobs that could be done remotely reported working off-site; as of March 2023, that percentage had increased fivefold, according to the Pew Research Center. More than a third of individuals with jobs that can be done remotely are now working from home full time, and another 41% of these professionals say they’ve adopted a hybrid schedule, working on-site some days and at home on others. Remote workers report that telecommuting has a variety of benefits, such as reducing or […]

It’s no wonder a large number of registered nurses (RNs) are looking to advance into nurse practitioner (NP) roles. Nurse practitioner ranks as the No. 1 best healthcare job and the No. 2 best overall job on the U.S. News and World Report’s 100 Best Jobs of 2023 list due to strong demand, high salaries, and above-average job satisfaction. To become an NP, nurses need to select a specialization area and then obtain certification to practice in that area. Many NPs choose to earn a second certification in a different area of focus, which can offer even greater opportunities for […]
The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) dates back several decades and has roots in the origins of modern computing. The history of AI includes the many ways television shows and movies use it as a simplistic catchall for the fear that technology is taking over our lives. This is a misleading depiction, of course, especially the stories where humanlike robots fight back against their creators, such as in “Blade Runner” and “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Setting aside the anxieties that the technology may provoke, AI now offers many benefits to our lives. They include: Increasing efficiency of transportationLimiting the need […]
