A psychic predicts what's in store for work in 2024

WORKPLACE WELLNESS: As employers spend the last weeks of 2023 looking ahead toward the new year, they should be preparing for a "wellness revolution" in the workplace, says Amanda Rieger Green, MPH , a psychic medium, wellness coach and the founder of Soul Pathology.?

"It doesn't matter where you are on the ladder professionally, but when I feel well and whole and productive, I offer so much to whatever environment I'm in," Rieger says. "And employers are beginning to get curious about how that can be implemented to start this wellness revolution, because it's coming, whether we like it or not."?She shares what to expect in 2024:

RETIREMENT: At HireClix , a recruitment advertising firm, a formal "flex-tirement" policy is creating a framework to help employees make the transition from full-time work to retirement. Employees shift to a 30-hour week, and then continue to reduce their hours to 20-25 hours per week, while continuing to receive benefits. Older employees work on more of a consultancy basis, and are also tasked with mentoring younger employees within the company.?

"The notion was, how do we make sure that we keep talented individuals on the team that are nearing retirement age," says Neil Costa , founder and CEO of HireClix. "When you've invested so much in your career, and from the employer side, we invested so much in an employee, you don't want that skill, that leadership, that ability to mentor younger workers to walk out the door."?Costa shares how he came up with this policy, and why he plans to participate himself:
