How intelligent workplace design can combat burnout and reduce in-office frustration. The fastest growing and most popular office building and workplace amenities. How HED LA office design and amenities facilitate company culture and productivity. https://www.hed.design/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-swanner-b8a9a55/ https://www.officelovin.com/2021/12/a-look-inside-heds-new-los-angeles-office/ Quick recap Summary Evolving Office Design for Post-Pandemic Workforce Rebecca, a workplace sector leader for Harley Ellis Devereux, and Michael discussed the changing trends in office design in the wake of the pandemic. Rebecca expressed her interest in the concept of wellness in the workplace and how design can respond to the changing workforce population post-pandemic. Michael emphasized the importance of authentic employee feedback in design. They also discussed the flexibility of the podcast format, with Michael assuring Rebecca that any potential gaffes could be edited out. Evolving Office Spaces for Hybrid Work Michael and Rebecca discussed the evolving office space and design in the context of the hybrid work era. They noted how the pandemic has altered the way people work and interact, leading to early retirements and a shift in the workforce. They underscored the importance of considering both how people work and how they live in the new office spaces. Rebecca presented the concept of designing spaces that cater to different needs, such as socializing in a "prairie" setting and feeling secure in a "woods" setting. Michael concurred, highlighting that options like these could accommodate different work styles and personalities. Creating Safe Workplace Spaces for Excellence Michael and Rebecca discussed the importance of creating a 'safe space' in the workplace to foster individual and team excellence. They agreed on the significance of understanding employees' work styles and personalities to optimize their work environment. Rebecca emphasized the need for thoughtful and intentional workplace design, keeping in mind that employees are not constantly present, but should still feel ownership over the space. Michael shared his own experiences working in shared spaces, highlighting the importance of the space feeling like a 'guest's home' when visiting other locations. Understanding Individual Differences in Office Design Michael and Rebecca discussed the importance of understanding individual differences in work environments and incorporating these insights into office design. They highlighted that everyone has varying needs, with some preferring minimalistic setups. Michael emphasized the need to communicate with employees to design spaces that benefit everyone. Rebecca added that gathering information from the entire workforce, not just the C-suite, is crucial. She also pointed out a common fear among employers regarding open-ended surveys, as they worry employees might ask for things they can't provide. Employee-Driven Workspace Transformation Rebecca emphasized the importance of having open, honest conversations with employees about their needs and how the workspace can accommodate their changing work habits. She pointed out that such discussions can lead to innovative solutions that go beyond superficial perks like yoga balls, while also acknowledging the potential constraints, such as budget or location limitations. Michael agreed with Rebecca's approach and shared his own experience of reducing turnover at a healthcare organization by implementing changes based on employee feedback. Both stressed the significance of making employees feel valued and creating a positive work environment. Creating Productive Work Environment Strategies Michael and Rebecca discussed the importance of creating a productive and healthy work environment. They emphasized the need for leaders to be vulnerable and open to feedback, particularly regarding workspace and office design. Rebecca highlighted the necessity of data-driven decision-making, using a workplace strategist to understand the company's culture, schedules, and demographics before making changes. Michael expressed concerns about employees' reactions to changes in office space, stressing the potential for burnout if the new layout is not designed appropriately. Rebecca agreed, noting the importance of proper change management and employee education in effectively using the new space. Designing Spaces for Work-Life Balance Rebecca and Michael discussed the importance of work-life balance and the need for intentional space design to promote rest and rejuvenation. They explored the concept of designing spaces that can be used for various activities, such as exercise, relaxation, and social gatherings. Rebecca shared her ongoing project for a new building's interior design and programming, where they are soliciting input from their employees on the desired functionalities of the space. Michael concurred, highlighting the potential for a variety of spaces to suit different needs. Addressing Office Space and Employee Well-Being Michael shared a humorous story from his past about the issue of unevenly sized offices due to the building's unique design. He explained how, with approval from the CEO, they ensured that all offices had the same number of ceiling tiles, despite their differing shapes. Rebecca and Michael then discussed the importance of focusing on employee well-being and the functionality of their working space, rather than trivial details like the number of ceiling tiles. They emphasized that a thriving work ecosystem involves providing employees with the tools and environment they need to succeed, and not just a uniform office layout.

Mission Critical - Week 1 - On the Road to Emmaus by The Summit Church

By Ben Light in Salem, OR - June 15, 2024 - Mission and Vision statements help to guide the function of an organization. The Vision provides the goal and end result of what the organization desires to achieve, while the mission describes how they plan to get there. In any strategic planning, there are factors that could be considered to be "Mission Critical" - factors where if they are compromised, or otherwise impacted, the mission can fail and the vision will not be achieved. What are these mission critical factors in the Mission Christ provided His church, and what must we do to achieve these things?

Additionally, the rise of early-onset CRC—even in otherwise healthy young people in their 20s and 30s—is unprecedented. This marks the 60th episode of the Precision Medicine Podcast as host Karan Cushman begins a two-part series focused on colorectal cancer with Trevor Maxwell, Founder and CEO of Man Up to Cancer. Trevor was diagnosed with CRC at age 41 and attests that it feels like we are back in the early days of breast cancer in terms of building awareness around the criticality of basic screening, yet the statistics are startling. In this Part 1, Trevor helps us understand the facts and current trends behind the second-leading cause of death for both men and women in America today. Trevor says the numbers are alarming, noting a 1% to 3% increase in the young-onset cohort every year. The big question, he says, is “why?”.

There is one today about the death of the Apple Car.  To summarize the conversation, ChatGPT has provided us with a sort of CliffsNotes version.  Ryan and Justin speculated on the reasons why Kubernetes (K8) persisted despite predictions of its decline: Global Pandemic Impact: They acknowledged the global pandemic that unfolded since 2020 and considered its potential influence on Kubernetes. The pandemic might have shifted priorities and accelerated digital transformation efforts, leading to increased reliance on Kubernetes for managing cloud-native applications and infrastructure. Organizations might have intensified their focus on scalable and resilient technologies like Kubernetes to adapt to remote work environments and changing market dynamics. Unforeseen Complexity: Despite expectations for a simpler alternative to emerge, Kubernetes has grown more complex over time. The ecosystem around Kubernetes has expanded significantly, with various platforms, services, and tools built on top of it. This complexity may have made it challenging for organizations to migrate away from Kubernetes, as they have heavily invested in its ecosystem and expertise. Critical Role in Scalability: Kubernetes remains a fundamental technology for platform engineering teams seeking to achieve scalability and standardization in their operations. Creating a standardized, opinionated path for Kubernetes within organizations enables them to streamline deployment processes, manage resources efficiently, and support the growing demands of modern applications. This critical role in scaling infrastructure and applications might have contributed to Kubernetes’ enduring relevance. Absence of Clear Alternatives: Despite predictions, no single service or platform has emerged as a clear, universally adopted alternative to Kubernetes. While other solutions exist, such as Tanzu, OpenShift, and others mentioned, none have achieved the same level of adoption or provided a compelling reason for orga

The Chaos Agent (Gray Man) by Mark Greaney https://amzn.to/49cWR7B Artificial intelligence leads to shockingly real danger for the Gray Man in this latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. A car accident in Japan. A drowning in Seoul. A home invasion in Boston. Someone is killing the world's leading experts on robotics and artificial intelligence. Is it a tech company trying to eliminate the competition or is it something even more sinister? After all, artificial intelligence may be the deadliest battlefield gamechanger since the creation of gunpowder. The first nation to field weapons that can act at the speed of computer commands will rule the battlefield. It's an irresistible lure for most, but not for the Gray Man. His quest for a quiet life has led him to Central America where he and his lover, Zoya Zakharova, have assumed new identities. With a list of enemies that includes billionaires, terrorists, and governments, they need to keep a low profile, but the world's deadliest assassin can't expect to hide out forever. Eventually, they're tracked down and offered a job by an old acquaintance of Zoya's. He needs their help extracting a Russian scientist who is on the kill list. They reject the offer, but just being seen with him is enough to put assassins on their trail. Now, they're back on the run, but no matter which way they turn, it's clear that whoever's tracking them is always going to be one step ahead. Since flight's no longer possible, fight is the only option left, and no one fights dirtier than the Gray Man.
