  Ken Ackerman Distribution & Warehousing

  The inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009 gave the U.S. its most union-friendly president since Harry Truman left the White House nearly 60 years ago. This has led to a boost in union activity throughout the country.

• Boards and risk: Have we got it right yet?

  Dr. David Hillson Association Management

  Regulators have shown a growing interest in the way boards manage and report risk. So what has changed in the last four years? Despite encouraging progress in some areas such as risk appetite or risk culture, the underlying problem still seems to exist, arising from differences in perception around the board table about the nature of risk.

• Eliminate the pain of performance evaluations in your clinic

  Monica Maxwell Pet Care

  Performance evaluations are easily one of the most dreaded practices of management, probably right after terminations and discussions about body odor. This is no different in the veterinary clinic. They are so dreaded, in fact, I get emails at least weekly titled "Get Rid of Performance Reviews for Good!" with the same general look of the ads on the Internet that say "Earn $5,000 a Week Working Part-time from Home!"

• Stop checking your email

  Candice Gottlieb-Clark Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  I mentioned to a colleague my desire to have a day of work — when everything else in the world is on hold — so I could feel caught up. He laughed and expressed a shared interest in that "extra" time. I started wondering: If everyone I know is feeling overextended, why does no one seem to have a handle on what's causing it?

Business is on the rise in A&D firms. Many that had to let employees go during the lean years are staffing up again.

• 4 ways to rock social — regardless of network

  Emma Fitzpatrick Marketing

• The surprising connection between healthy living and hearing

  Patricia Sarmiento Medical & Allied Healthcare

  I'm a self-diagnosed health nut. I love reading articles, tweets and blog posts about healthy living. My motto has always been that the more I know, the better I’ll be able to take care of my family. They're all very familiar with the routine. But I have to admit that in all my time worrying about things like heart health and cancer prevention, I overlooked a very important part of wellness — our hearing.

• Race to the top: The charge of the elitist parent

  Brian Stack Education

  You see them all the time, but maybe you have never noticed that they are there. I often refer to them as the "elitist parents." Elitist parents firmly believe that their job is to keep their children's resumes so packed that Ivy League schools like Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth will be fighting over the right to make them a part of their school one day.
