The problem, however, isn’t the workers– it’s the way their performance is measured according to <a href="/desautels/jean-nicolas-reyt"><strong>Jean-Nicolas Reyt</strong></a>, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour.</p> Tue, 15 Oct 2024 20:03:50 +0000 admin 8791 at /mbanext50 /mbanext50/channels/news/people-feel-most-productive-work-during-heart-workweek-360456 <p>Tuesday is the most productive day of the week—or at least it’s the day perceived to be the most productive, according to Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour <a href="/desautels/jean-nicolas-reyt"><strong>Jean-Nicolas Reyt</strong></a> in an interview with Radio-Canada. Most individuals work from Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to -5 p.m., and perceive Monday to be less productive because they are still catching up on their work from the previous week. Tuesday is the day that people first feel immersed in the current week’s work.</p> Tue, 15 Oct 2024 20:06:48 +0000 admin 8790 at /mbanext50 /mbanext50/channels/news/when-wedding-planning-clashes-work-commitments-communication-key-360453 <p>Weddings are planned many months–or even years–into the future, and that can clash with other aspects of the couple’s lives. When taking on a new job in the months leading up to such a major life event, it’s tricky to know when to tell your new employer that you’ll need time off in the first months of your tenure. “My advice is to wait until you’ve received a formal job offer before discussing it,” says Associate Professor <a href="/desautels/jean-nicolas-reyt"><strong>Jean-Nicolas Reyt </strong></a>in The Globe and Mail’s Nine to Five column.</p> Tue, 15 Oct 2024 20:00:59 +0000 admin 8786 at /mbanext50 /mbanext50/channels/news/companies-seeking-savings-employee-wages-might-spend-more-long-run-358276 <p>Inflation has stretched the budgets of individuals and companies alike, and some firms have sought to find savings in the wages they pay their employees. A recent report from the Robert Walters recruiting agency found that Canadian firms are increasingly hiring underqualified employees. But that can backfire, says Professor <a href="/desautels/jean-nicolas-reyt"><strong>Jean-Nicolas Reyt</strong></a> in interview with Canadian HR Reporter.</p> Wed, 07 Aug 2024 20:16:30 +0000 admin 8696 at /mbanext50 /mbanext50/channels/news/greece-increases-length-work-week-bucking-broader-trends-357947 <p>While some countries contemplate shorter work weeks, Greece is heading in the opposite direction. Seeking to boost economic growth, the country recently passed a law allowing employers to implement a six-day work week, though the change is not mandatory. Greece faced a debt crisis in 2010, and its economy has long been among Europe’s laggards. As a member of the Eurozone, Greece doesn’t make its own monetary policy, explains<strong> <a href="/desautels/jean-nicolas-reyt">Jean-Nicolas Reyt</a></strong>, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour.</p> Mon, 15 Jul 2024 17:58:52 +0000 admin 8663 at /mbanext50
