When the pandemic first hit and we were transitioned to working remotely back in March of this year, the rise in video calls and Zoom meetings became the new thing, and soon became the norm. Lately though, surveys and studies have found that many professionals are experiencing video call fatigue and that the novelty has worn off and is almost being seen as an intrusion into their personal lives. We might want to re-consider the use of video calls for every meeting and chec...k if they are necessary or if we can have a quick phone call or shoot off an email instead. Have you been utilizing video calls since the pandemic? If so, how do you feel about them? For more information and statistics on video calling, check out the full article on Canadian HR Reporter and survey results by Robert Half.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky... The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. -John McCrae

With schools now back in full force, you maybe wondering what this could mean for you as a parent, an employee and an employer. What happens if your child's school has an outbreak and they're forced to close? Are you familiar with your sick time and sick leave polices at work? Is there a plan in place for these types of situations? Every employee in Alberta is entitled to 14 days of unpaid job protected leave if they have to isolate due to Covid-19. In recent news, Ottawa introduced a new $500 weekly benefit for up to 2 weeks for employees who don't have paid sick leave and are forced to isolate. First and foremost, review workplace sick time and sick leave policies and update policies to factor in sick time due to Covid-19. For more information on this, visit www.canada.ca.
