The study found that businesses with higher female board representation consistently outperformed peers in employee protection metrics, helping reduce their share of the $170 billion that workplace incidents cost US businesses annually. Researchers determined that women bring distinct perspectives on welfare and risk management that translate into stronger advocacy for employee safety initiatives. However, the safety improvements only materialized when female board members held powerful committee positions. This research demonstrates that boardroom diversity delivers concrete operational benefits that directly impact both employee wellbeing and company financial performance.</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 8px 0 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 23px; display: block; margin: 8px 0 0;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #6c6cff; line-height: 164%; mso-line-height-alt: 23px;">Hiring</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 8px 0 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">UK employers freeze hiring amid rising labor costs</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 8px 0 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">UK companies are drastically reducing hiring and refusing to replace departing workers, causing job vacancies to plummet by 63,000 between March and May as unemployment rises to its highest level in nearly four years. The hiring freeze follows increased National Insurance contributions for employers and minimum wage hikes that took effect in April, creating a $31 billion annual cost burden that businesses are offsetting through reduced headcount. Office for National Statistics data shows available jobs fell to 736,000 while the unemployment rate climbed from 4.5% to 4.6%, with economists predicting further increases as companies adapt to higher employment costs. The hiring slowdown proves that when governments raise employment costs, companies simply stop hiring people.</span></p> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <!--[if mso | IE]></td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <!--[if mso | IE]></td></tr></table><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="width:600px;" width="600" ><tr><td style="line-height:0;font-size:0;mso-line-height-rule:exactly;"><![endif]--> <div class="r au u" style="background: #fffffe;

The study found that advanced AI systems from OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Anthropic suffer complete accuracy collapse when handling tasks beyond basic complexity, despite industry claims about revolutionary reasoning capabilities. Researchers discovered that these models create a tangled mess of simple rules rather than genuine thinking, with some reasoning systems actually hallucinating (generating false or nonsensical information that the AI presents as factual) more than their predecessors. Business experts note that while AI tools like ChatGPT serve 500 million users and boost productivity in specific applications, relying on them for complex decision-making poses significant risks.</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 8px 0 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 23px; display: block; margin: 8px 0 0;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #6c6cff; line-height: 164%; mso-line-height-alt: 23px;">Behavior</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 8px 0 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">AI chatbots are becoming workplace yes-men</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 8px 0 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Leading AI companies including OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic are scrambling to fix a growing problem with their chatbots: excessive agreeableness that tells users what they want to hear rather than what they need to know. The issue stems from how AI models are trained using human feedback, where agreeable and flattering responses receive higher ratings, causing systems to prioritize user satisfaction over accuracy or helpful criticism. This behavior has become particularly problematic as more professionals rely on AI assistants for decision-making and strategic advice in workplace settings. On top of that, AI ethics experts note that companies are incentivized to maintain agreeable chatbots since subscription-based business models benefit when users want to keep paying for these services.</span></p> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <!--[if mso | IE]></td></tr></table><![endif]--> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <!--[if mso | IE]></td></tr></table><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="width:600px;" width="600" ><tr><td style="line-height:0;font-size:0;mso-line-height-rule:exactly;"><![endif]--> <div class="r au u" style="background: #fffffe;

That's why you should check in with your team halfway through the year to evaluate what's working, solidify projects that are still worth pursuing and reimagine or replace initiatives that aren't helping progress.</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">These processes should feel less like performance reviews and more like collaborative brainstorms.

Ask your team members to share which goals they've made the most progress on and why. This isn’t just lip service – when people feel seen for their contributions, they're more likely to stay motivated, and their wins, no matter how big or small—build momentum. In fact, employees whose managers excel at recognition are 40% more engaged, according to Harvard Business Review. Discussing team wins also helps you identify strategies that are working, so you can replicate them in other areas. Starting on a positive note also creates a more open conversation and helps frame any pivots as progress, not failure.</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Key question:</span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> “What goals have you made the most progress on?”</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #6c6cff; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Reevaluate prior goals</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Sometimes, a goal that made perfect sense in January no longer aligns with business needs—or with an employee's growth path. Ask your employees if each of their goals still feels meaningful and aligned with their roles. If not, consider adjusting or replacing it with something more relevant. For example,maybe a team member started with a goal that focused on specialization, but the company strategy demands them to be more diverse in their work. In this case, you'd need to update their track to align to the evolved direction while still taking into account their personal growth trajectory. Bear in mind this isn't about letting goals slip—it's about ensuring they stay connected to impact.</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Key question:</span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> “Do all of your goals still feel meaningful and aligned to your role?”</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #6c6cff; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Remove roadblocks</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">You might find that your team isn't meeting all of their goals, but don't waste time placing blame. Many leaders become enforcers – but instead, think about being a coach. Ask open-ended questions to get to the root of the problem. For example, you might ask, "What are the major barriers to reaching this goal?" or "Do you have everything you need to make this happen?" When they answer, ask a more specific follow-up question based on their response. Through this process, you might learn that your team is struggling with unclear or unrealistic goals, changing expectations, or muddled roles, and it's your job as a leader to remove those roadblocks.</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Key question:</span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> What are your biggest barriers to achieving your goals?</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #6c6cff; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Connect goals to the bigger picture</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">When goals feel disconnected from the company's mission, motivation drops fast. Help your employees understand how their individual work contributes to the company's overall vision. For example, if someone is working on process improvements, remind them how that reduces friction for the end user, accelerates delivery times, or reduces customer churn. When you are discussing your team-wide OKRs, you might also try to reframe the objectives in the context of business outcomes. When your team members understand how their work supports the broader company goals, they're more likely to re-engage with purpose and energy.</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Key question:</span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> “Do your goals still align with the company’s vision?”</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;"> </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 700; color: #6c6cff; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Encourage personal growth</span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Roboto', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333333; line-height: 163%; mso-line-height-alt: 26px;">Sometimes, personal growth goals get lost in the hustle and bustle of the year. But remember that goals shouldn't only be about hitting numbers—they should also support your team's development. Be intentional about asking your employees what skills they want to build in the second half of the year or what stretch projects might help them grow. Maybe they want to lead a cross-functional project, mentor a junior teammate, or gain more confidence presenting. Aligning at least one goal to personal growth shows that you're invested in them as a person, not just an output machine. That kind of support fosters loyalty, resilience, and improved performance throughout the year. </span></p> <p style="mso-line-height-alt: 26px; display: block; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px;
