We talk about work-life balance in many companies, but why are team dinners at 18.30? Maybe why team-bonding happens when someone’s child falls asleep or a partner is looking forward to a little time together in the evening? I’ve worked with several teams to do things like Christmas lunches or different breakfasts, so that team

Sounds like maturity, right? Like the ability to be a bigger person, but in reality … the phrase is full of hidden struggle. “Smarter” implies a priori that someone is dumber.

The number of incapacity for work leaves due to burnout in Estonia increased by nearly 60% during the year.This was the news on ERR a few days ago, referring to data from Statistics Estonia. Not six percent. Sixty. And that’s when people go to the doctor. But I believe that most of the time people

The quality and standard of what a person can offer at work directly depends on the choices they see and perceive in their lives. If a person perceives that “I have no choices in life”, they cannot be expected to show initiative, responsibility or creativity and offer new added value to the customer. 📍 If,
