As CTWM knows, for business owners, managing your workforce isn’t just a task, “it’s a cornerstone of success, directly impacting business value, employee
A while back, the CBIA asked me if I would present at its annual HR Conference later this month. We decided on the topic which seemed innocuous at the time — just an update on the Trump Administration and the implications for employers.

This week, the Hartford Business Journal has a cover piece on the rise of remote work and the issues surrounding it.
