Companies and their HR professionals are coming up with some ingenious way to jump the 'invisible gap' that exists between offer acceptance and joining date, where most of this ghosting occurs. In this episode of Cost to Company, I speak...

A group of Apple employees calling itself Apple Together has opposed the company’s ‘hybrid working pilot’ return-to-office policy, first announced last year and being implemented from April, as a measure that actually kills flexibility and even diversi...
