Sometimes someone with strong views can be unnerved by a person who thinks nothing is ever a big deal, and vice-versa. Either way, the question is: How can we keep our conversations about any of these lightening rod issues from derailing our ability to work well together? For employers: Stress civility and set guardrailsRegardless of any one hot-button issue, it seems like US culture has become less civil over time. And many polarizing conversations are happening at work in ways they weren’t years ago, according to SHRM, the leading human resources membership association. … Recognize that while his opinion may be contrary to yours, what is the goal of being at work?

The average worker gets 10-14 days of vacation time per year after one year of service, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. "There are a number of organizations that we've worked with who, instead of having vacation maximums, will say vacation minimums, which is an interesting concept," she said. In some cases, companies even require at least five of each employee's vacation days to be taken consecutively — in other words, a mandatory "solid week" of vacation, said Pruitt-Haynes. Fifty-four percent of U.S. workers say they can't or shouldn't completely stop working while on vacation, according to a 2022 Glassdoor report. Turn off any company-owned devices while you're away and plan busy vacation days to keep yourself from thinking about work, he advised.

Lindsay Bira swears by freediving — lengthy stints of underwater diving while holding your breath — as a stress reduction method. When you're stressed at work, practicing a "breath hold" freediving exercise at your desk can help, Bira said on Wednesday at the 2023 NeuroLeadership Institute Summit in New York. It only takes 60 seconds. "You are, physiologically, totally capable" of holding your breath longer than 60 seconds, but your brain starts to send distress signals before you reach the milestone, she added. When you take a second — or 60 seconds — to breath-hold and reframe your thinking in those moments, you're doing something called "reappraisal," Bira said.

Sustainable goals include improving people's well-being, health, and equity.

That includes investing in everything from fair wages to reskilling and upskilling; health and safety; diversity, equity, and inclusion; gender equality; and fair hiring practices. For Horizon Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company with 1,800 employees worldwide, a key priority around diversity, equity, and inclusion is pay equity. "We have 100% pay equity at Horizon,'' said Irina Konstantinovsky, Horizon's executive vice president, chief human-resources officer, and chief diversity officer.
