Managers asking employees to list their daily tasks can improve transparency and coordination but may also lead to micromanagement feelings, added admin work, and stress. Understanding the pros and cons helps teams find a balance that supports productivity without unnecessary pressure.

With Canva, AI, and smartphones in every department, content creation is no longer just marketing’s job. Instead of fighting it, here’s how to empower teams, protect your brand, and embrace the DIY era, without losing control.

Ever found yourself 2 minutes deep into a video where someone’s turning old tyres into a sofa... and wondered how you got there? You’re not alone. Viral content creators know exactly how to hook your brain. This blog explores the wild world of ridiculous online videos, the sneaky science behind your curiosity, and why these clips get billions of views—even when they make zero sense.

Working from home isn’t about clocking in from your kitchen and slacking off—it’s about trust, discipline, and outcomes. In NZ, nearly 900,000 people now work remotely, and over 50% say they’re more productive. I've worked in cultures that embraced flexibility and others that feared it. The difference? Mindset.

It’s time for HR, managers, and engagement leads to look beyond surface-level fun and tune into what the data and employee voices are really saying: autonomy, purpose, and respect matter more than novelty.

Working in social media can be very rewarding, but it can also be draining. The constant negativity, moaning and complaining online can take a toll on your mental health, occasionally getting you down or at worse having an adverse affect on your entire wellbeing.

Facebook Stories can boost visibility and engagement, but they’re not a one-size-fits-all solution. In this blog, we unpack the strengths and limitations of Stories, share when to use them, and explain why they work best alongside longer-lasting content.

There’s a quiet crisis unfolding in boardrooms, Zoom calls, and staff kitchens across the world — a generational struggle to keep up with the relentless march of technology. Among those most impacted?
