This week, we're covering the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL's) launch of Project Firewall to enforce H-1B visa compliance and new guidance on stand-alone fertility benefits, as well as a federal court ruling voiding gender identity protections.  Project Firewall: An H-1B Enforcement Initiative The DOL has introduced Project Firewall, an initiative to enforce compliance with H-1B visa regulations.

Assurance news of a rise in Kiwis calling in sick indicates a positive cultural shift. A Business NZ and Southern Cross report shows workers are taking an average of 6.7 sick days a year, up from 5.5 in 2022. Employers and Manufacturers Association Head of Advocacy Alan McDonald told Ryan Bridge while it is a cost, most employers recognise it stops infections spreading. McDonald says the stats better reflect the understanding in a workplace, that people do genuinely get sick, and it's better to manage this than have them in.

As we collectively recognize and redefine disability as a society, are employers ready for broader accommodation needs?As employers push for a return to the office, they face a rise in accommodation requests, particularly for remote work and non-apparent disabilities. This often creates tension, as supervisors may rely on personal bias rather than facts. The key to navigating this is a formal, data-driven, and compassionate interactive process led by HR. By moving beyond individual biases and focusing on finding reasonable accommodations, organizations can meet their legal and ethical obligations and support their entire workforce.On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Rachel Shaw, President of Shaw HR Consulting and author of “The Disabled Workforce: What the ADA Never Anticipated.” They explore the rise in accommodation requests from an HR and employer perspective, touching on why supervisors often default to “no,” the legal and ethical necessity of an interactive formal process, and how data-driven, human-centric conversations can help employers find workable solutions in a post-pandemic world.Keep Up with Rachel:https://www.shawhrconsulting.com/Try Learning Snippets:https://dialectic.solutions/signupContact Us to Be a Guest on Just One Q:https://dialectic.solutions/podcast-guest

Have you ever wondered how people manage to train as a coach while juggling a full-time job, family, and everything else life throws their way? In this episode, we explore one of the most common questions we hear: How can I train as a coach when I already work full time? We know from experience that most people who come to train with us are balancing busy lives, full-time jobs, caring responsibilities, and personal commitments. And yet, many find that their coaching qualification becomes the highlight of their week, a time to step into a space that's entirely for them. We talk about the practicalities, mindset, and support systems that make this possible. From flexible formats and payment options to honest conversations with employers, we share the approaches that have helped hundreds of learners succeed in training while working full time. We discuss the range of formats available, including evening, morning, weekend, and self-guided options, and how learners find creative ways to integrate their studies into their lives. Whether it's fitting in lessons during lunch breaks, listening to content while walking the dog, or negotiating time off work, there are countless routes to make it work. Beyond logistics, we explore the mindset that makes the biggest difference. Training to be a coach isn't only a professional investment, it's a personal one. The moment you shift from asking "Am I ready?" to "How can I make this work?", everything changes. We share personal stories from our own coaching journeys, from completing qualifications with young children to navigating demanding roles, and the lessons that shaped how we now support others through this process. We also talk about the value of employer sponsorship and how organisations increasingly recognise coaching as a way to develop culture, leadership and connection within teams. Many of our learners find that their organisations not only support them financially but also benefit from the ripple effects of their growth. By the end of this episode, you'll come away with practical tools, encouragement and the reassurance that training to be a coach while working full time isn't only possible, it could be one of the most transformative decisions you ever make.   Timestamps: 00:01 – Why most trainee coaches balance learning with full-time work 00:57 – How life commitments coexist with coaching study 02:21 – Flexible learning formats that fit around your schedule 03:51 – Managing missed sessions and staying on track 04:17 – Payment options and accessibility 05:17 – Choosing the format that fits your energy and lifestyle 06:34 – Employer support and building a business case for funding 09:24 – The mindset shift that helps you commit and thrive 10:52 – Making coaching a personal priority 12:20 – Understanding the true time commitment 13:15 – Practising through triads and structured peer learning 14:44 – Why investing in coaching changes everything 15:37 – Finding time by changing perspective and routine 16:30 – Adapting your learning style for flexibility 17:00 – How to make your environment support your goal 18:51 – Role modelling lifelong learning for others 19:17 – Turning intention into reality and taking the next step   Key Lessons Learned: It's entirely possible to train as a coach while working full time with the right mindset and structure. Flexibility in format and timing means coaching qualifications can fit around real life. Shifting your question from "Is it the right time?" to "How can I make it work?" changes everything. Employer sponsorship can create win–win outcome, for your growth and your organisation's culture. Treating your coaching training as an act of self-investment fuels motivation and resilience. Clear time planning and communication at home and work are essential for success. Every learner's journey is unique, there's no single "perfect" way to do it. Training as a coach while working builds powerful habits of reflection and self-leadership. The return on investment goes far beyond career progression, it transforms how you think, feel and connect. Starting now often becomes the most impactful decision for your future self.   Keywords: train as a coach while working full time, coaching qualification, coaching career development, flexible coaching training, online coaching courses UK, emotional coaching, mindset for success, accredited coaching programmes, coaching while employed, professional coach training,   Links & Resources: Take our Coaching Course Quiz – mycoachingcourse.com Explore Accredited Coaching Qualifications – igcompany.com Book a call – igcompany.com/ILM-call

In the context of this chapter, Paul is instructing the Christians in Crete on behavior that reflects Christ, not speaking into the right or wrongness of cultural or social practices. It's not just what we know or what we say that helps others to know Christ, but how we live. Whatever circumstances we find ourselves in – by the power of the Holy Spirit – we can conduct ourselves with faithfulness and integrity.  During our sermon series studying Paul's letter to Titus we encourage you to memorize Titus 2:11-14. For this week **work on memorizing Titus 2:13**:while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, ------Prepare for this week's teaching by reading Titus 2:9-10

On Episode 89 of Astonishing Healthcare, we are talking about some "visual treats," as the title suggests! Our guest, Andrew Tsang, has been posting some very cool things on LinkedIn of late, including Sankey and other dynamic charts highlighting where the money flows in healthcare (from the premium dollars to the care plan members receive), and which stakeholders win or lose in different scenarios via a 5-Way Seesaw he developed using AI! If you're a [healthcare] data nerd, this episode is definitely for you, and you'll want to check out:How many layers are between your employer's healthcare dollars and care? on LinkedIn (you can see where every $100 an employer spends goes!)What would happen if power actually shifted in healthcare? on LinkedIn (5-Way Seesaw)Andrew discussed how and why:A significant portion of the healthcare premium is consumed by administrative layers and middlemen before ever funding patient care.Employers can combat wasteful spending by demanding full access to their claims data, then identifying and eliminating things that extract value from their plans (or don't work for their populations).Integrated care models (like Kaiser Permanente) and direct primary care help eliminate friction by aligning provider and payer incentives, allowing doctors to focus on practicing medicine (vs. revenue cycle management).New technologies like AI-powered prior authorizations may reduce administrative costs for payers but risk creating new burdens for providers and patients, if we're not careful.Hospitals face a fundamental conflict: core, life-saving services like ICU and emergency care are often unprofitable and must be cross-subsidized by higher-margin procedures.Related ContentHow to obtain Rx data and what to do with itAH030 - Plan Sponsors Need a Source of Truth; Get Your Data Now & Find It, with Jeff HoganCapital Rx Unveils Healthcare's First Unified Pharmacy and Medical Claims Processing PlatformPharmacy Benefits 101: Prior AuthorizationsAH048 - High-Cost Orphan Drugs, Securing Claims Data, and More, with Dr. Eric BrickerFor more content and information about this episode, including the show notes and transcript, please visit Judi Health - Insights.

Guest: Ghada Alsharif, Toronto Star immigration & work reporter A new report has revealed that workers in Ontario are being shortchanged by nearly $200 million in unpaid wages. It's called wage theft and, in many cases, workers aren't getting paid even after the province officially orders their employers to do so. Less than a quarter of the money sent to Ontario's Ministry of Finance for collection has actually been recovered, leaving tens of thousands of workers still out of pocket. In this episode, we speak with Toronto Star reporter Ghada Alsharif about her latest three-part investigation into Ontario's growing wage theft crisis, and how the province's weak enforcement system is allowing employers to avoid accountability, from shell companies to disappearing franchises.

IrishJobs has today published new data from its Hiring Trends Update, revealing that nearly 1 in 4 employers expect to increase hiring in 2026. The IrishJobs Hiring Trends Update is a new biannual research report on the state of the recruitment market in Ireland. The research gathered insights from 500 employers and 1,000 professionals in Ireland on the evolving hiring landscape and shifting attitudes and actions across the market. The research also includes data from OTT, an in-house tool developed by the Stepstone Group, the parent company of IrishJobs, which analyses online data on job postings and associated information. In-demand skills As employers continue to navigate a highly competitive market for demand, sourcing candidates with in-demand skills is a top challenge.

Pace of hiring The tight talent landscape is impacting the length of time to successful hiring. The median time for successful hiring is 10 weeks, as employers continue to face challenges in sourcing the right candidates for key positions. Findings show that recruiters are increasingly using AI tools and automation to reduce administrative burdens and streamline the hiring process. Nearly half of employers (47%) surveyed are using AI to draft job adverts. 35% of employers are using AI tools to help schedule interviews with job candidates. Hiring landscape There is a positive hiring outlook for 2026, with nearly 1 in 4 employers (24%) in Ireland planning on increasing recruitment over the next six months, indicating growing confidence among employers following a period of heightened geopolitical and trade volatility.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. As we've discussed in prior episodes, many new charities are established in the aftermath of disasters to help the victims, their families, and their communities. In EO Radio Show episodes 9 and 10, we covered the basics of forming and obtaining tax-exempt status for organizations whose purpose is to address specific disasters. Today's episode focuses on the special issues that arise when an employer wants to establish a charitable entity to provide disaster relief to its employees and their families, and sometimes to affected communities, often in areas where the employer has a substantial geographic footprint. This episode was inspired by both the recent Apple TV movie "The Lost Bus," which covers the 2018 wildfire in Paradise, California, and a recently published IRS ruling that denied exempt status to an organization formed by a company to provide disaster relief to its employees. We'll walk through the facts revealed in that letter ruling and use it as a guide for the employer that might want to navigate the rules to create a charity for disaster relief for its employees and its community.

Episode 1851: Dr. Benjamin Ritter challenges the modern obsession with “meaningful work,” revealing how the search for fulfillment from employers often leads to disengagement and turnover. He argues that true meaning isn't found, it's created, through personal accountability and job crafting. Both employees and employers must shift focus: employees must own their sense of purpose, while employers should empower them to shape roles they can love. Read along with the original article(s) here:⁠ https://www.liveforyourselfconsulting.com/articles/2020/12/14/the-dangers-of-searching-for-meaningful-work-a-letter-to-employers-and-employees⁠ Quotes to ponder: “Employees are searching for meaningful work and feel that meaning is something they can find, or something an employer can give them.” “The idea that your work should ‘give' you meaning, as if it's responsible for how you feel, is incredibly misleading.” “The only thing an employer can actually give their employees is the power to craft a job they can love from a job they have.”
