I don’t believe that AI will, as a substantial number of leaders apparently believe, destroy humanity in a few years.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

In attempts to make charging accessibility at home easier, some states and cities, including Illinois, Florida, Colorado, and New York, have enacted “right to charge” laws.

The decision to manage its latest tradeshow internally gives the American Institute of Architects more opportunities to connect with vendors. Andrew Flank arrived at the American Institute of Architects in the fall of 2022 as its senior vice president of sales, events, and exhibitions.
