Podcasts about WFH

This Deep Dive series is all about reducing the friction between ourselves and our kids when trying to communicate with them, whether it's yelling less, finding real reasons for constant defiance, or picking our battles. Why do formerly-sunny kids turn overnight into little tornadoes of defiance and aggression? A listener posted this question in our Facebook group: My four-year-old daughter has recently developed a special, defiant, boundary-testing, aggressive version of herself that she saves only for me. I can't make sense of it at all. WFH, send help! In this episode, we explain why these sudden onsets of periods of dysregulation are completely normal almost every kid will go through this—and a lot of four-year-olds, although not they do not have exclusive ownership of this sort of behavior and why most kids alternate between periods of regulation and dysregulation repeatedly as they grow and mature. These difficult stretches don't mean you're doing anything wrong as a parent. They don't mean you need to lock everything down because your kid will be a tornado forever. But they also don't mean mean you need to become the 24/7 punching bag for your dysregulated kid. Here's what to do instead.

The executive chair of Paul Smith says working from home “just doesn't work” for young people and has urged the government to stay out of decisions over where employees work.Ewan Venters argues that younger workers risk missing the informal learning and mentoring that comes from being around more experienced colleagues. He traces his own career back to joining Sainsbury's at sixteen and learning from senior business figures by working alongside them, describing the experience as his “university education”.Venters says he is a “huge fan” of flexibility, but believes individual businesses rather than government should decide how it works. “Let business figure out the flexibility,” he says. “Please, let's not have government intervention on whether you can work from home or not.”He says the government's approach to employment rights will be one of the things he watches most closely.Venters took over as executive chair of Paul Smith after joining the board to review a business that has recorded losses for six consecutive years. He says previous management failed to respond quickly enough to structural changes in fashion retail as the wholesale market consolidated. “Quite frankly, they did take the eye off the ball,”.The changing retail landscape also leads Venters into a critique of pre-pack administrations. Paul Smith is among the creditors affected by the restructuring of Harvey Nichols, and Venters describes the use of pre-packs as “dubious in terms of ethics and way business gets done”. He says suppliers could recover only a fraction of what they are owed and questions the impact on smaller brands.We asked Frasers Group, who bought Harvey Nichols out of administration, for a response, but they have not replied at the moment.Internationally, Venters points to the US as one of Paul Smith's biggest opportunities. He says the brand is growing four to five times faster there than anywhere else in the world and is preparing to open on Madison Avenue.He also calls for the return of tax-free shopping for international visitors to Britain, arguing that its removal has damaged growth.

The Victorian Government is proposing Australia's first laws guaranteeing some workers the right to work from home two days a week, despite warnings from business groups that the legislation will drive investment out of the state. 

All Else Equal is taking a short break over the summer and will be revisiting some of our favorite conversations from last season. The show will be back with new episodes soon. When the pandemic hit in 2020, working from home skyrocketed. Six years later, many companies have returned to in-person work, but hybrid models are still the dominant structure. So with WFH here to stay in some form, what's the proper balance? And what are we at risk of losing in the long term with less in-office interaction? Nick Bloom is an economics professor at Stanford University and one of the first researchers to take a serious look at the work from home phenomenon. He joins hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen to discuss his research into why working from home has outlasted COVID precautions, its impact on employee performance, the surprising effects its had on birthrates, and his recommendation to companies on striking the perfect balance with a hybrid structure.

This ICYMI episode takes you back to 2021. Canada was in the midst of the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and many Canadians had been working from home for some time. But it was becoming clear that something was changing in Canadian work life. WFH was no longer a temporary COVID measure -- it was here to stay. On April 4, 2021, Checkup callers weighed in on their experiences working from home -- and the future of the office work.

In this Meaningful Money Q&A episode, Pete Matthew and Roger Weeks answer real listener questions on UK pensions, retirement planning, tax and ISAs. They cover pension contributions for a spouse, starting a career in financial planning, reducing workplace pension fees with a SIPP, navigating the 60% tax trap, retiring abroad with UK pensions, and upcoming ISA rule changes from April 2027. A practical episode for UK savers, investors and future retirees looking to make clearer, more confident financial decisions. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA55    01:26  Question 1 Thanks Roger and Pete for the wealth of information you share and all the time you put in to share on finance and pensions. I have listened to a lot of your podcasts on my treks to and from work and finally took the plunge to retire early at 52 to enjoy life and get away from the desk for 8-9 hours a day. I had a DB pension which allowed me to take early whilst my wife has various pensions from previous jobs but all have the rule to take from 57 onwards. So my question is to help 4-5 years down the line. Could I put £300 a month (or the equivalent of 300 minus government contribution) into my wife's pension to continue to take account of government contributions and take the opportunity of her being on below the £12k tax threshold after giving up work? Is this possible or would this be classed as pension recycling as the government would presume the cash invested is from the lump sum I got from my defined benefit pension or is there a way to prove the money is from pay before I retired? Many thanks for your advice and support giving many people greater confidence with pensions and finances. Wayne 04:10  Question 2 Hello Pete & Roger, Thanks for all the great content and information - you are both much better than any AI chatbots! Apologies for the long back story but here goes: My name is Michael, 33 and I live in central Scotland. I have worked in a tech startup for the last 6 years but felt like a change around 18 months ago so I began sitting my CII exams. To date I have passed RO1 - RO5 and also recently passed CF6. I am sitting RO6 in April this year - wish me luck! I have recently secured an opportunity to work self employed for a specialist mortgage firm and start in early May as a trainee mortgage advisor. I have been offered a set monthly payment for 6 months then a 70/30 split after that. I would hope to have achieved CAS within that 6 month period. If I pass RO6 in April, I will have my diploma. My goal is to work as a financial planner but since I've done self study, I don't have any real experience of the financial services industry. I am very ambitious but also trying to be realistic about how to sensibly map out a route to being a successful financial planner relatively quickly. To throw a spanner in the works, a family friend who is a 62 year old IFA with £30m aum is interested in discussing me joining him and eventually taking over the business. It sounds exciting but also a little scary to me. He is only a one man band. For now I've accepted the mortgage trainee position but not sure if I am doing the right thing. The owner of the mortgage company now lives in Dubai and is looking to also remove himself from his business - he has 8 admin staff who WFH from across Scotland and he is the main adviser, specialising in BTL, bridging and commercial finance. They are only authorised for mortgages by the FCA. After that dissertation, my questions are: 1. From your experience and perspective, are mortgages a decent place to start or can you end up getting stuck there? 2. Since I have no real industry experience, only exams - is my head in the clouds thinking I could be a full fledged financial planner within 2 years? 3. If I started with the mortgage firm and got CAS as a self employed mortgage advisor, could I then also be an appointed representative for a different financial planning firm at the same time or is that not actually feasible in the real world? Once again, sorry for the huge essay but I guess context is needed. Once again thanks for all that you do, not much good content out there around these topics so keep up the good work! Regards, Michael   12:36  Question 3 Hi Pete & Roger, Firstly a very big thank you for all that you do for this community. I am learning lots from you guys and feel more confident with my finances. I'm 46 years old and currently have two pensions. My first pension is in a defined benefit plan from my steelwork apprenticeship days whereby I only paid into it for approx 6 years before moving jobs. I was able to track this down late last year and was pleasantly surprised to see that this had gone from an annual amount of £2650 in July 2007 to £4400 as of October 2025. I have been told to leave this as it is as it will grow over time with inflation. My other pension is a defined contribution plan with Royal London (RL). I am a higher rate tax payer and currently pay 10% of my £58,000 annual salary into this fund and my employer pays 5%. I would like to finish at 58 given I had a serious neck injury at 41 and don't know how long my body is going to work for me)! This pot is currently worth £105,000 and I am deliberating whether to increase my contributions in order to achieve my retirement age goal. I also have a stocks and shares ISA which is currently worth £36,000. I pay £250 a month into this but don't know if it would be more tax efficient to put this £250 into my pension instead? However, I am also mindful that the pension age may increase so by having a pot of money invested in the stocks and shares ISA I can draw this down when I like and also not bear any tax implications. Having looked into the fees which RL charge (0.71% for our employers scheme) I believe I would be able to achieve my goal quicker were I to move this into a SIPP and invest in a global ETF. I have discussed this with my employer and have asked if they would consider offering an alternative SIPP option. I feel I am meeting some resistance with this and don't believe a decision will be made anytime soon. In the interim, my compounding is being eaten away by the fees which I am currently being charged and my goal is moving further away from me. I found a pension fee calculator online and at the current rate I am investing I stand to lose approx £50,000 if I keep this with RL. I am aware that I can partially transfer my RL pension. However, to keep the employer contribution I would need to keep the RL pension open with a minimum amount of funds and then transfer the employer contribution across to my SIPP.  What is the best way to go about this to make it the most fee/tax efficient?  Should I transfer the employer contribution as soon as it is paid to RL, or would it be no different to do it on an annual basis?  I am assuming the longer I have money in the SIPP the more growth it will obtain therefore the former would be the sensible default. Am I approaching this correctly? Is there something else which I could consider? Thank you kindly, Paul   20:30 Question 4 Hi Pete and Rog - great show and love the books (but not finished them yet). Thanks for demystifying the complex world of personal finance and financial planning. I'm in the fortunate position where my projected salary and bonus will increase again for tax year 2026/27 and will take me well over the £125k tax threshold before adjustments. My 'problem' so to speak is that even after using my current year maximum pension allowance and previous years unused maximum pension allowance I can only get my adjusted income to be around £115k. Tough life I know! I can either make a large Gift Aid donation to get below £100k or use less of my unused maximum pension allowance to keep above £125k. Am I missing any other income adjustment options? What is the actual impact of not being able to hit the £100k adjusted income, and being in the £125k additional tax bracket, from a tax payment perspective in real money terms? I have some small cash savings and stocks outside of ISAs as we put most of these in my wife's name as she is a basic rate tax payer. We don't need the childcare tax scheme and not aware of any other reason to keep under £100k except to save tax and avoid the 60% effective tax rate between £100k and £125k. Don't want to let the tax tail wag the dog, and happy to give to charity, but in real terms is there actually much difference in the tax payment amount in pounds and pence (as long as I kept out of the £100k - £125k range)? Many thanks, Simon   25:33 Question 5 Hi, Fairly new listener to the podcasts, been binge watching them recently, ended up here via the meaningful money YouTube channel. Both are thoroughly enjoyable to watch and are teaching me a lot about the financial world - along with 2 other YouTube channels I like Damien talks money and James shack. Anyway my question if you have time and it's selected would be about retiring abroad. My current situation - male, 42, living north east England, working full time for NHS and will have 2 NHS db scheme pensions in retirement (1 in 2008 scheme at 65 and 1 in 2015 care scheme at state pension age).  I have 2 stocks and shares ISAs,  with about £95000 between them, 1 stocks and shares Lisa with about £4500 in it (for retirement not house purchase), about £21000 in premium bonds which I use as an emergency fund. Our house is paid off so no mortgage payments so at the minute can add to these savings at £500+ a month comfortable. My wife is 34 and here on spouse visa and hopefully will be eligible for indefinite leave to remain and citizenship soon (it will save us a lot in visa fees and stuff when it happens).  She currently works a part time job 16hr per week at minimum wage to fit around child care for our 2year old son. 1st question is would this part time work count as a qualifying year for the state pension as it's below the personal tax allowance? We have a rough plan of retiring early hopefully once our son is grown up and finished with schooling and university and moving back to my wife's home country in Asia for the better weather and lower cost of living.  As a rough plan we think when I'm 60 and wife 52 but could move later depending on family commitments. Now if I stay in NHS all that time I should have 10 years in the 2008 NHS scheme and 24 years in 2015 scheme and with conservative planning on spreadsheets will get £8000 per year from 2008 scheme and £14000 from the 2015 scheme taking at the normal pension age for these schemes.  My wife will benefit from a spouse's pension for length if I die 1st of roughly 1/3 of these figures.  I have the option of exchanging some of this pension for tax free lump sum up to 25% and the calculation is for every £1 I reduce the pension by I get £12 lump sum. Question 2 - everyone at work always talks about you got to take the maximum lump sum to avoid paying tax, but I'm not so sure as the pensions linked to inflation over the long run there could end up being a big gap between your pension with and without the lump sum.  What's your thoughts on this, if I didn't need a large amount  of cash for a specific thing surely it's better to go for the larger pension even if you end up paying for tax or am I wrong . When we move I will have a full NI record for the state pension but my wife won't and depending on your answer to the 1st question might have 20 years contribution say. Question 3 - if we move abroad before she has a full record can we make voluntary payments for extra year's while resident in another country? I see you can pay about £900 for a year in this country but I'm not so sure if where already living abroad. Assuming my savings continue to grow and the stock market doesn't complete collapse, I will use these savings to bridge the gap from 60 to 65 and then the state pension age.  And fund the move with the sale of our house which will also give us a cash buffer hopefully too. Question 4 - when moving abroad can I keep my stocks and shares ISA - I know you can't contribute more to it, but keeping it open to grow, receive dividends, withdraw money, the government website says you can but a lot of the provider websites are vague and some say they don't allow it.  Is it a case when the time comes I'll have to transfer my isas to 1 of the more expensive providers say who are more likely to allow this? Now I already know that the country I'm moving to doesn't have a reciprocal agreement so our state pension will be frozen at the level that we claim it and have based all our plans and number crunching on this. And that the country I move to may charge tax on money I draw out of my ISA when I transfer it over, and on my pension (although with the double taxation treaty hopefully not) and will seek advice of accountants over there nearer the time as currently there is some work arounds involving spouses but these may not be there in 20 years time. My last question -  would be about if I die 1st probably more likely me being older and male, is more for my wife inheriting my UK based assets - the bank accounts and isas, NHS pension.  The NHS pension should be easy she's already my nominee on record and will go through with her the forms and website for claiming it.  But the isas and bank accounts are the main worry - will it be easy for her to transfer them over to her (I'm assuming the joint accounts will be pretty much automatic) but will the single accounts be easy? Can she keep the money in the ISA still in an ISA but in her name? Would having her own ISA make this transfer easier? And most importantly is this something you think can be done online/over the phone from abroad or will it involve a trip back to the UK and back and forward to branches assuming they haven't all been shut. Thank you for taking the time to read this email, sorry it's so long, and no worries if it doesn't get chosen for the podcast. Keep up the good work Kind regards, Mark 38:15  Question 6 Change to ISA rules from April 2027. Audio question from Holly.

संयम और कटौती. एक दौर था जब इन्हीं गर्मियों में शहर के कुछ मोहल्लों से बिजली की कटौती होती थी, और इतनी गर्मी में भी हम रखते थे संयम. हमारे घरों में भी जब जब कहीं से कोई विपत्ति आन पड़ती थी, बड़े बुज़ुर्गों की सलाह में संयम और कटौती दोनों शुमार होती थीं. पिछले दिनों कुछ ऐसा हुआ, कि भारत भर की जनता के कानों में ये शब्द फिर कौंधे. जब पीएम मोदी ने तेलंगाना के सिकंदराबाद में 7 Pointer की अपील की. पीएम मोदी की इस सलाह को देशभर में दो तरह से देखा गया. एक तरफ़ तो लोगों ने कहा कि मोदीजी इस West Asia और Hormuz संकट के समय में संयम और कटौती की सलाह दे रहे हैं. लेकिन दूसरी तरफ़ भर भर के उसकी इस अपील की आलोचनाएं भी हो रहीं हैं. ये दोनों बातें Subjective है. लेकिन जब कोई Economy के Professor इस सलाह, इसके Consequences या Faultlines को समझाएं तो मुमकिन है कि एक Objective Insight आप और हम दोनों पा सकें. Padhaku Nitin के इस एपिसोड में बात इसी पर हुई. सोना ख़रीदना छोड़ देने से क्या सब ठीक हो जाएगा? पूरा देश अगर सलाह मांग कर WFH कर भी ले, तो क्या Hormuz संकट हंसते खेलते बीत जाएगा? ये भी समझाया कि War होती ही किसी देश की Economy किस तरह बदल जाती है?

Guest: Raja Mukerji, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist, Extrahop Rafal Los, VP of Client Relations and Strategic Initiatives, Extrahop Topics: Is Network Detection and Response (NDR) coming back after being shoved to the side by EDR a bit? Is this for real? What's the value proposition of NDR in 2026, because some people still don't understand it? How does NDR apply to the world of WFH, cloud/SaaS, encryption, high bandwidth, etc? Is the value of NDR the same, or different, when it comes to public (or private) cloud? How does NDR fill visibility gaps that identity and agent-based solutions cannot? What does NDR offer that built-in cloud security tooling (as of right now) does not? Would you call NDR a key cloud security control? Does NDR help with shadow AI? NDR elephant in the room is sometimes cost. How does cost change the value prop when compared to on-premise or physical infrastructure? Resources: Video version EP267 AI SOC or AI in a SOC?

What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender!Pull up a stool, settle in, and let's talk shop for a minute. Around here we spend a lot of time unpacking the messy reality of work - the leadership moments, the career pivots, the things that look simple on LinkedIn but feel a whole lot different in real life.And today? We're getting into one of the topics that's quietly stressing out a lot of very smart people right now: finding your next gig in 2026.Because let's be honest - the job search game has changed.Resumes are getting screened by AI. Interviews sometimes feel like you're talking to a robot…because sometimes you are. And everyone seems to be asking the same question: How do you actually stand out when the algorithms are also applying for the job?So Lori grabbed the mic and opened it up to the TCB Crew.What followed was a real conversation about the highs, the headaches, and the strategy behind navigating a job search right now - from networking that actually works, to the emotional rollercoaster of the process, to how AI is both helping and absolutely messing with the system.It's thoughtful. It's practical. And like most Crew conversations around here… it's also pretty damn honest.Because the reality is this: careers are getting less predictable, the rules keep shifting, and trying to figure it out solo is a fast path to yelling at your laptop.And around here, we don't do that alone.TCB Layout:0:00 - Show Open & Intro1:31 - Titles2:02 - Kickoff 3:44 - Job Search 20261:01:40 - Wrap & CloseJoin our community!https://the-corporate-bartender.mn.co/Theme Music by Hooksounds.comGood Feels Stories Copyright Paramount/CBS

Bleeding disorders aren't just medical conditions — they're lived experiences shaped by resilience, community, and support. On this episode of BloodStream Podcast, Patrick James Lynch sits down with the WFH working group to explore why psychosocial care matters just as much as medicine and how human connections help people thrive.  Rocky Williams joins to share the power of positivity and what it truly means to be more than "fine," inspiring the bleeding disorders community to dream bigger, aim higher, and embrace life fully. We also break down a major shift in gene therapy: BioMarin's decision to pull Roctavian from the market, what it means for patients, and why preserving critical clinical data is essential for ongoing research and safety.  Tune in for a conversation that blends science, mindset, and community — because living with bleeding disorders is about more than treatments, it's about life itself.
