I had written a post to go with this picture from 2019 when Kamala Harris visited Winthrop University. But after a long week, I post it with gratitude for the woman who left it all on the field.

Remembering…. #September11

"If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands." Remember that song? Did you always clap when you were a kid? I did. Heck, I still clap when they play it at baseball games. But are you happy and do you know it? And if you're not happy, what can you do about it?

I'm reading Arthur Brooks and Oprah Winfrey's book; BUILD the LIFE You WANT. Expect to see some tidbits... I am a huge Arthur Brooks fan and well, Oprah is Oprah. So, I'm here for what they have to say about happiness and wellbeing. #happness #happy #wellbeing

I blame Taylor. I love football, but after maybe I read some stuff about the Taylor/Travis Romance the algorithms started showing me reel after reel of the brothers Kelce and I have gone down the rabbit hole. #allthingsKelce #Taylormademe #thekidsarethecutest – at Charlotte, NC

Bottom line -- Gallup's research suggests that your preferred work location may NOT be what is best for your team. #remotework #onsitework #hybridwork #engagement #bestfortheteam

Who's shocked? Engagement is highest when the work team decides together about work policy decisions. Input matters, regardless of the decision. #remotework #onsitework #hybridwork #engagement #inputmatters #hearme #seeme

Collaboration -- This is an area where Gallup research shows that leaders, managers and individual contributors agree -- collaborative work is most effective onsite? #collaboration #remotework #hybridwork #onsitework

Is manager to direct report communication most effective onsite? No—Remote employees rate conversations about progress, recognition and opinions highest for remote employees (hybrid 2nd, onsite 3rd).

Mythbusting remote work -- Onsite workers feel most connected to their organization’s culture? Not really (remote 18%, hybrid 23%, onsite 19%). Culture and engagement is an issue for all employees. #mythbusting #remotework #hybridwork #culture #engagement

Remote work mythbusting -- Is offering a remote/hybrid option likely to increase retention? Yes, especially for current remote/hybrid workers. #remotework #hybridwork #retention #remote #mythbusting

Remote work mythbusting: Remote/hybrid workers are more engaged and less burned out according to Gallup Research. #remotework #hybridwork #workfromhome #mythbusting

Leaders and managers have a greater desire to work on site than individual contributors, according to Gallup research. And if those leaders impose that on their individual contributors... #remotework #hybridwork #workfromhome #remote

Gallup has found that 80% of employees in remote-capable jobs expect remote work flexibility in the future. What implications does this have for your work? #remotework #hybridwork #workfromhome

9 in 10 employees in remote-capable jobs desire remote work flexibility (hybrid or fully remote). Let's explore what Gallup. has learned about remote work. It may surprise you. #remotework #workfromhome #hybridwork #flexibility
