Playing It Safe? How to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

It’s incredibly easy to settle into the comfort of the familiar—the same routines, the usual habits, and the paths well-trodden. But somewhere in the back of your mind, isn’t there a small voice urging you to shake things up, to take a risk, to venture into uncharted territory?  Maybe you’ve experienced this feeling while watching someone fully immerse themselves in their craft on stage—whether through music, dance, or a bold stand-up routine. Isn’t it absolutely thrilling? I’ve always been captivated by those moments. There’s something magnetic about witnessing someone throw caution to the wind and dive headfirst into their passion. It’s like watching a rockstar being born right in front of your eyes. This bravery, this unfiltered expression of self, isn’t just reserved for the few. It’s something we all possess.

Jon Batiste, a maestro of emotion and authenticity, once expressed the dual reality of embracing potential failure with unwavering...

Synthetic Reality & Deep Fakes: Considerations for Employers and Implications of the Rise of Deep Fakes in the Workplace

In an age where computer generated imagery (CGI) and digital effects enable entire film genres to exist, like Marvel’s superhero series the Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy, audiences have no expectation that movies they consume depict actual events or reflect reality. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the context and forum of how digital media and information is communicated, observed and consumed informs our default expectations of it.

Dear Littler: What are some considerations before implementing our return-to-office policy?

Dear Littler,

As the pandemic subsided, we still leaned into remote work to attract and retain talent who preferred remote work.
