In this week’s episode of foHRsight from future foHRward, hosts Mark Edgar and Naomi Titleman Colla have the opportunity to connect and share insights from 3 stories that have been hitting the news waves in their community foHRsight+.

The first article from Business Insider article from middle of February picks up the theme that the power balance is perhaps shifting and that some companies are using that to bring people back to the office and, unfairly, targeting people who work remotely in lay-off decisions.

We explore the concept of proximity bias and the responsibility we have as individuals and organizations to avoid this becoming a real thing.

We shifted girls to explore an article in Toronto Life about our changing expectations of work sharing stories a bunch of 20 to 30 year olds for whom quiet quitting, lazy-girl jobs, bare-minimum Mondays, weekend Wednesdays are a thing. We conclude these people aren’t lazy, but just making different choices that we need to respect.

Finally we discussed news in Fast Company about Zoom’s decision to layoff its DEI team. We discussed DEI at a recent foHRsight+ roundtable and were very encouraged by how resolute people were about continuing this important work.
