An agreement reached with the US Soccer Federation is designed to provide equal pay and prize money for men's and women's team players who participate in international matches.

Technology
Some employers are using technology to monitor workers to help identify insider threats. Some observers question the ethics of this tactic, but Chris Grijalva, senior technical director at Peraton, defends it saying, "People are starting to understand that the insider threat is a business problem and should be handled accordingly."

Think differently about what hybrid work means
Chesky (Kimberly White/Getty Images)
The typical hybrid work setup -- with employees working a few days in the office and a few days at home -- is flawed, as it still restricts flexibility, says Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky. Instead, Airbnb gets together one or two weeks each quarter to do things that can't be done virtually, such as key relationship building, Chesky says.

About the Editor
Kanoe Namahoe 2022
Kanoe Namahoe
The Great Resignation is not over and it’s presenting a number of issues for people who manage teams and projects. I know this firsthand. I recently hired two editors and am now gearing up to hire another one. It’s a long process and work doesn’t stop while you’re doing it. New programs launch, existing projects need attention and challenges arise that call for your intervention. Juggling it all can be maddening.
 
So delegate, people say. That seems the obvious solution but as it turns out, it’s not. When you’re shorthanded, you’re shorthanded. There are fewer people to do the work. And when the workload grows, you’re faced with a new problem. How do you assign work to people whose plates are already overloaded?
 
Margaret Luciano gives some suggestions for tackling this, in today’s Leadership & Development story. Reprioritizing some tasks and rethinking project and production schedules are good places to start. What tasks -- and meetings! -- can be eliminated? Or reduced? Can we get some wiggle room on some deadlines? Can a project scheduled for a June 1 start move to a June 15 start?
 
Options. We need to be creative about considering options for better managing growing workloads with fewer work hands. How are you doing this? Let me know! And if you enjoy this brief, tell others so they can benefit also.
