Warding Off Back-To-School Burnout Back to school used to mean that parents were excited to see the kids return to their learning, while the kids were excited to see their friends (but dreaded having homework again).

But for both parents and those that employ them — there are ways to help mitigate that anxiety.
Languishing & Leaving: What Is It And How To Help Your Workforce
How to Avoid “Languishing and Leaving” Keep employees engaged to avoid losing good people As we move into the second half of 2021, there is a dominant sense of “blah” permeating the workplace.

This is a recipe for disaster — one which is already playing out with companies reporting record numbers of resignations, as well as furloughed workers declining to return at all.
Ways To Stay Connected To Stay Well Working From Home
When we feel connected to one another, we get more done: that is basic human behavior.
