20 Office Snacks to Share with Your Co-Workers

Strategies for Bringing Employees Back to the Office in 2022… and Keeping Remote Team Members Engaged

It’s 2022 and in the almost-post-COVID era, the return to the office is really happening. Many companies are figuring out how to bring employees back to their locations in the new normal of the on-site workplace. There’s a lot to consider to ensure that team members are comfortable, protected, and happy to be back.  Those water cooler moments or break room gatherings might look slightly different today, workspaces could be reconfigured, and for the NY and NJ clients we serve, indoor restaurant dining may not yet be comfortable for everyone.

Tips for Keeping Your Remote Employees Connected and Engaged

With workplace habits turned upside down, work from home (WFH) moving from trend to long-term model, and employers coordinating hybrid work scenarios, there’s a lot to think about from a human resources perspective. While you’re welcoming back your team to the office with new protocols in place (and getting that break room restocked), one important consideration is how to keep your remote employees connected and engaged. Employee engagement is a crucial part of the health and wellness of a company as well as its team. As noted by a career writer on Business News Daily: “Keeping remote workers engaged is a necessary part of leading a remote team, company or employee . . . . Without the ability to have organic conversations in the break room or at each other’s cubicles, it takes a more concentrated effort for remote workers to engage with others.” The writer goes on to say

12 Fruit Snacks That Make #Adulting Feel Like Child’s Play

Being an adult is hard. As we grow older, we lose access to so many defining aspects of childhood, such as swinging as high as humanly possible on the local park’s swing set without launching into outer space.

Delicious fruit snacks are still here to stay.  Childhood favorites like Welch’s fruit snacks are available to enjoy, but there’s a new market of fruit snacks made to be more appealing to adults.
