Whenever tragedy rears its head, it’s an inescapable fact that grifters will come around looking for their next victims. The opioid crisis is sadly no exception, and companies marketing so-called natural addiction cures have sprouted up to take advantage of struggling people. Now the federal government—as part of its professed, if inconsistent, pledge to remedy the crisis—is trying to root out some of these frauds.

Bad bosses aren’t just a workplace nuisance. A leader’s manipulative, passive-aggressive, credit-taking, and overly-critical behavior can lead to workplace bullying, job dissatisfaction, psychological distress, and depression among employees according to a set of recent studies by the University of Manchester of more than 1,200 people. If you’re struggling with the effects of your boss’s toxic personality, you aren’t alone. According to Mental Health America’s examination of over 17,000 employees across 19 industries, 64% of employees don’t feel their boss provides them adequate support, and another survey found that 44% of employees have left a job because of a bad boss.

In recent years, more and more employers have implemented wellness programs—employee participation programs that may include wellness education, health or fitness challenges, and even limited medical testing and preventive care requirements—to promote and encourage employee health and wellbeing. Through these programs, they hope to create a healthier workforce and reduce insurance costs. Employers currently using wellness programs are likely already aware of the privacy and discrimination laws and regulations restricting their use. However, as they work to design and implement programs for 2018, employers with existing programs and those thinking about starting one for the first time need to be aware that these regulations should be changing in the not-too-distant future.

Personnel Today
Today’s employers understand that high performance is more easily attained when your employees are engaged. However, up until now, engagement has been something of a lottery. No doubt, in your organization, some individuals will be highly engaged and others won’t be. But what if you could predict in advance whether or not your job candidates will be fully engaged in their work?

Tarana Burke started the #MeToo movement because she saw something radical in mass healing from sexual assault. Having launched the campaign in 2006, she has said that “standing up and saying ‘Me too’ can be a deeply cathartic experience,” an experience that millions of women shared in October as the hashtag for those who had been sexually assaulted or harassed took over social media.
The American Psychological Association issued a press release in November calling sexual harassment in the workplace a “pervasive, chronic problem” that had lasting effects on targeted employees, who may experience depression, anxiety and substance abuse, and on the employer, which may see higher-than-normal turnover rates and lowered productivity. “We have a long way to go before we’re effectively addressing it in workplaces,” says David Ballard, director of the APA’s Center for Organizational Excellence.
