Construction Dive It's every employer's dream — a group of employees who are not only happy in their jobs, but productive as well. For many companies, it's a dice game, where a winning throw means they're going to attract quality workers who will engage in meaningful collaboration.
Forbes Economists overwhelmingly predict a short-term interest rate hike coming this week following the Federal Reserve's two-day board meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday. Should the Fed proceed as projected and bump its benchmark rate by a quarter point to a range of 1 percent to 1.25 percent, it will mark the fourth move made since December 2015.
IT Pro For many of us, the humble office is where we work and meet with colleagues and business partners to do business and achieve organizational goals. But why do we still arrive and leave at a certain time, and why should we even have desks? The reason for many is habit, it is something that we have always done and there is comfort in the familiar. But times are changing and so are the habits.
Business Facilities Healthy consumer spending and buoyant e-commerce sales are driving demand for warehouse and distribution space, pushing vacancy rates to a 17-year low and rents through the roof, according to JLL’s Industrial Outlook 2017. But demand is outweighing supply and new construction is struggling to keep up. So the billion-dollar question is: Can new construction keep up with demand for industrial real estate?

Gump Reflects on SIOR Presidency Twenty-five years ago, I earned the designation to become a member of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR). The pinnacle of this membership was when I served as president in 2016. This was a huge thrill for me as I was privileged to travel across the globe representing the organization. As I approach the end of serving a four-year term as a member of the SIOR Global Leadership Committee, I can look back with certainty and declare that joining this organization has been the best career decision I have ever made. In 2016, SIOR held its first European conference in London, which also happened to occur at the same time as the Brexit vote. Also during my term, SIOR had its first chapter event in Mexico City for all our Mexico members from across the country. SIOR annually participates in the MIPIM Conference in Cannes, France, the largest real estate event worldwide. It has truly become a global organization.

Bright Ideas
The Content Strategist Blog As a content strategist, I ask people about their content marketing goals every day. Sometimes I almost feel like a fast food worker. "Would you like some lead gen with that?" These goals vary greatly since content can impact everything from sales to customer experience, but there’s one goal that’s pretty universal: growing your email list.
Inc. Think about a smartphone. Next, picture a smartwatch. That was easy, right? Now visualize a smart workspace. I bet that was a bit more complicated.
Harvard Business Review In an era where business keeps moving faster, it is no small wonder that resilience has become the new must-have executive skill. While executives have always known about the personal benefits of being resilient, they haven’t always recognized that it is also needed for the sake of their teams and organizational health.
