Passwords at work, passwords for your email accounts, passwords for social networks, passwords for online subscriptions, passwords for utilities, passwords to protect documents, passwords to keep your finances safe… passwords are ubiquitous.

By Ioana Lazarov - It is not uncommon in our organisational settings to encounter the species called: the atrocious office slacker.
And while this fragment of your work life gets your blood boiling to the point you actually contemplate resignation, just for the sake of your sanity, you attempt to convey(yet again!) your opinion on work values, ethics and performance.

His/her brain processes turn your grammatically correct, coherent information exchange into a distorted (close to a nightmare) image, ready to be discarded in the out-of-memory bin.
Yup, you’ve done your homework and after calculating all the possible outcomes, you are still surprised the atrocious office slacker passed the interview stage and into your life.

I learnt something today.
Yesterday I had a meeting with the director of my program in which we agreed to make some minor changes in my unit. Today I broke the news to my team and they weren’t welcome very cheerfully, especially by veteran staff. Why? Obviously (now that I have time ...

We get to interview all kind of people. Sometimes we have to interview too many in a too short period of time. Sometimes we only have one chance to talk to that person before making conclusions. That’s why it’s important to make the most out of that time. The person ...
