Why some people are always late. For the punctual among us, habitual latecomers can come across as rude, self-absorbed, selfish. But that it’s not always as simple as that. As I explain to my mentoring clients chronically tardy colleagues and friends may believe that their time, not yours, isn’t important enough to be punctual. They may be held up because someone else has demanded their time and they don’t know how to get away. Then there are those who are late out of self-sabotage. Ultimately, late people will only stop being late when they make a concerted effort to change. Editor Your most important skill. If you’ve found yourself scrolling through your Instagram feed forgetting how you got there, you’re not alone. Two-thirds of workers admit to looking at their phones for at least an hour out of their work-day, according to a study from Udemy. This is costing us and our employers dearly.

Bureau of Economic Research Data suggests that the Saturday job is on
its way out. The era of the Saturday job may be coming to an end as it is revealed that the number of working teenagers has almost halved in the last 20 years. A study from the Resolution Foundation found that a quarter of 16 and 17-year-olds were in work between 2017 and 2019 - falling from 48% in 1997-99. Daily Mail Women CEOs remain rare. Women struggle to progress to leadership roles in Europe’s biggest companies, according to a new study. Although women take up one third of executive board seats, only 28 companies listed on the STOXX 600 index have a woman as CEO. In the UK, women make up just over one in 20 chief executives of FTSE 100 companies, as diversity legislation and binding quotas fall short. Companies in Norway and France score best on gender diversity, with the UK ranked fourth, while women are least represented in Switzerland and Spain. Reuters
Unlimited time off will burn you
out. Unlimited time off, a fashionable perk among start-ups - may sound divine, but it could lead you to work more. The amount of time employees can take off still depends on their workloads, managers and organisation culture. That’s why the practice may actually result in people taking fewer holidays. Instead, some companies have switched to minimum leave policies to prevent burnout. BBC
