May I present my five most-read blog posts from 2021!<\/p>\n<p>Nearly two years after the strange, disorienting events of 2020 up-ended life as we know it, the disruption that Covid brought to our workplaces is still with us as we enter 2022.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re still dealing with the fallout of the rapid move to working from home and navigating boundaries in a remote environment. We\u2019re seeing the challenge of creating and fostering a robust workplace culture in a remote and\/or hybrid environment.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also seeing companies finally addressing what a healthy and inclusive workplace environment \u2014 free from harmful behaviour, bullying, and microaggressions \u2014 should look like.<\/p>\n<p>And, we\u2019re pushing back against the biggest myths around diversity in the workplace, and finally acknowledging the immense value that BIPOC leaders bring to their organizations.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, here are my top 5 most-read blogs from 2021!<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/inadequate-inclusion-barrier-to-returning-to-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Inadequate Inclusion \u2013 A Barrier to Returning to Work<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt about it, many people are dreading a return to the physical workplace. After an extended period of working remotely many people have experienced just how productive and generally happier they feel without dealing with exclusionary behaviour, microaggressions, and a general feeling of not being fully welcomed or valued. What\u2019s encouraging to me is that many workplaces are also finally compelled to address these issues. It\u2019s frustrating that it has taken so long, and I\u2019m hopeful that organizations are genuinely going beyond merely writing Diversity Statements or setting up Diversity and Inclusion Committees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/leaving-jobs-after-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Leaving Jobs for Greener Pastures on the Other Side of the Pandemic<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/paul-hanaoka-A4WvJLe3Fyw-unsplash-cropped-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12293 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/paul-hanaoka-A4WvJLe3Fyw-unsplash-cropped-1024x868.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/paul-hanaoka-A4WvJLe3Fyw-unsplash-cropped-1024x868.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/paul-hanaoka-A4WvJLe3Fyw-unsplash-cropped-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/paul-hanaoka-A4WvJLe3Fyw-unsplash-cropped-768x651.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/paul-hanaoka-A4WvJLe3Fyw-unsplash-cropped-1536x1302.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/paul-hanaoka-A4WvJLe3Fyw-unsplash-cropped-2048x1737.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/paul-hanaoka-A4WvJLe3Fyw-unsplash-cropped-500x424.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/paul-hanaoka-A4WvJLe3Fyw-unsplash-cropped-1600x1357.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><\/a>While workers were leaving jobs at record rates in pre-pandemic 2019, after a brief pause in 2020, the trend continued in 2021.

And, just as suddenly the nature of work changed. This also meant the challenge of establishing remote workplace boundaries abruptly became an important priority. Employers and employees need to give new consideration to workplace boundaries now that homes and workspaces have become one and the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a04. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/valuable-bipoc-leaders-perspective-risk-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Value BIPOC leaders bring to corporate risk management<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a very real link between \u201cdiverse boards\u201d and \u201cbetter financial performance and corporate governance.\u201d \u00a0The facts brought to light by numerous studies are a stark contrast to the frequently expressed (false) belief that making \u201cdiversity hires\u201d implies lowering an organization\u2019s normal standards &#8211; and that hiring minority candidates means passing over higher qualified candidates merely because of quotas and tokenism.
