• Avoiding the two extremes in remote worker management

  Eric Taussig Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  If your company is one of the countless enterprises that has managed to stay afloat under COVID-19 quarantines by suddenly shifting to remote teams, it is probably comprised mainly of "knowledge workers" who process information for a living. Your managers, who are used to guiding these workers through face-to-face interactions, are adapting their skills to a new environment, and they're just now catching their breath amid the rapid change. In this new environment, many managers are gravitating toward an extreme focus on one of two management styles: widespread surveillance or total worker autonomy.

  Scott E. Rupp Medical & Allied Healthcare

  COVID-19 has touched almost every area of our lives; healthcare is obviously no different. According to a new survey of U.S. healthcare consumers, 72% of consumers say they have changed their use of traditional healthcare services dramatically because of the pandemic. The survey was conducted and released by the Alliance of Community Health Plans (ACHP) and the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP). According to researchers, these numbers highlight a bigger issue of how providers are going to face an uphill battle convincing their patients to return for in-person care.

• What the leadership manual reveals about strategy

  Robert C. Harris Association Management

  Association board manuals come in all shapes and sizes. Volunteer directors rely on them to understand their responsibilities. Some manuals are nicely bound in a notebook with a table of contents and tabs for quick reference. Others are designed as a virtual document, posted to a shared storage site or accessible on memory stick.

• Infographic: Robots in the construction industry

  Christian Castillo Construction & Building Materials

  The robots are coming, but instead of taking over our jobs, they're more likely to help us become much more productive. The construction industry is a prime example of this; since construction is one of the most dangerous industries to work in, automating many of the jobs can make the work environment much safer. In fact, it's already started, ranging from drones improving safety on a worksite to a humanoid robot from NASA, the Valkyrie, made to withstand the harsh vacuum of space and help us travel the stars.

• Healthcare providers, don’t drink the Kool-Aid!

  Lisa Cole Medical & Allied Healthcare

  As COVID-19 spreads, more people are dying without loved ones being with them — or with each other. Front-line workers are increasingly falling ill and suffering from PTSD as their trauma toil mounts. Though we’re nowhere close to containing the virus, restrictions are being relaxed. How can this be? How can we intelligently respond? Here’s what I'm doing; perhaps, it will serve you as well.

• Tips for small business leaders managing social media during COVID-19

  Natalie O'Grady Marketing

  Small business owners have been hit hard in recent months. From forced closures to staff layoffs and increased pressure to connect with customers authentically, the road has been far from smooth. Many businesses have lost most of their communication avenues with customers except for social media. For those not accustomed to prioritizing social, this has presented a steep learning curve. For businesses that already had a social media strategy, many components of carefully crafted plans have been put on hold or shelved.

• The future of work: Why resistance is futile

  Patrick Gleeson Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  I've had two careers in my life: one as a college English professor, the other as a composer. What both professions have in common is that they're both being transformed by technology that many musicians and teachers find threatening. Sometimes I'm amazed how much teachers and musicians resist this transformation. Unfortunately, resistance to the incursion of technology in both professions is almost certainly doomed to failure and will deprive skilled workers the opportunity to shape this technology in ways that could benefit everyone.

• Will federal emergency relief funds help alleviate K-12 education cuts?

  Bambi Majumdar Education

  Ohio, Georgia, California, and Kansas were some of the first states to announce massive budget cuts in K-12 funding, and others will almost certainly follow soon. COVID-19 has led to a deep economic downturn that some say is worse than what Americans faced during the Great Depression. To date, over 38 million people have filed for unemployment aid. K-12 budget cuts in districts across the country will result in laid-off teachers and other workers. The education of a generation is at stake, and vulnerable children and families are facing higher risks.
