We all know the phrase: spring forward, fall backward (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As summer comes to an end, I have been wondering, what if we decided to fall forward instead? There are only a few months left in the year which can create the temptation to mentally write off everything that has not happened yet. For instance, the strategic initiative that never quite got started. The compensation issue everyone knows needs attention. The employee development conversation that has been postponed three times. The succession plan that remains somewhere on the list. Suddenly Septe
When good employees disengage quietly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my last column, I looked at the early signals of retention risk, those warning signs that a resignation may be coming.

The numbers help explain some of what employers are experiencing. Bermuda’s May 2025 Labour Force Survey reported overa
Pay transparency is coming: what employers should do now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pay transparency in Bermuda has moved well past the idea stage. Jason Hayward, the Minister of Economy and Labour, first announced the Government’s policy proposal at a press conference on April 13, with a six-week consultation window that closed on May 31. Last month I attended the minister’s town hall at St Paul AME Centennial Hall, where the ministry set out its case in detail, with valuable contributions from Stacey-Lee Williams, of Citizens Uprooting Racism in Bermuda, and Lisa Reed, of the
