La possibilité de réaliser des apprentissages porteurs de sens trône au sommet des priorités d’une majorité d’employés, particulièrement chez les jeunes générations. Loin d’exiger des tables de ping-pong et des machines à café dernier cri, les employés souhaitent surtout compter sur le soutien de leur employeur afin de pouvoir se développer professionnellement. Nous savons tous qu’il est crucial de développer nos ressources humaines, mais le fait de mettre en place un parcours concret et partagé avec votre équipe, vous aidera certainement à vous placer en tête de la course aux talents.

336: Employees' Right to Disconnect in Colombia
Many countries have recently enacted laws related to the right of employees to disconnect from work for guaranteeing a work-life balance. Colombia is one of those countries where recently the Congress approved a new bill that introduced a legal definition of the right to disconnect for limiting the faculty of employers to contact and reach employees after work hours or during rest periods. In any case, the new law will bring some exceptions considering the level of the employee, the job responsibilities and the context in which the employer make contact, and also will introduce a new obligation with respect to the need to implement an internal policy around that topic for generating limits and a process for solving claims related to violations to right to disconnect.

Episode 238: Union Activity in the Tech Sector
Amazon, Google and Medium are the most recent examples of tech companies faced with unionization efforts. While each situation is different, there is a common denominator: many of these employees don’t feel their voices are heard or taken seriously. Unlike traditional “bread and butter” issues typically found in union campaigns, much of the emphasis in these efforts has been on social justice, workplace respect and equality and the company’s mission and priorities. In this webinar to podcast, we provide a national perspective on the following key issues:
- The workplace issues driving union organizing
- How the pandemic and remote work is exacerbating this trend
