For most people, entering into salary negotiations is a stressful endeavour, left until the end of the year when performance reviews take place. A leadership expert says however that those seeking to bolster their chances of negotiating a better package in 2023, should completely change their approach. Instead of waiting until year-end, they should kick off an ongoing conversation from early in the year.

Burnout is not just an inconvenience -- poor wellbeing affects your organization’s bottom line through lower productivity, higher turnover, higher absenteeism and higher medical costs (due to preventable conditions) and can cost organizations 15%-20% of total payroll in voluntary turnover costs, on average, due to burnout.
Managers must have routine and authentic conversations with employees about burnout.

To know your employees is to know how they react and respond in times of stress. How well do you know your employees' signs and symptoms of burnout?

The high unemployment rate has pushed job seekers into accepting any form of employment and rarely read the fine print contained in modern employment contracts. In recent times, it is common for employment contracts to contain a restraint of trade and confidentially clauses as part of the agreement. Unwittingly, employees usually sign these agreements which remain enforceable long after the employment relationship has ended. Prevention is better than a cure. Read your contract thoroughly before signing it.
