In 2021, 77% of workers with disabilities said their employer has done a better job supporting them since the pandemic started. Now, companies are building on that support, with significant increases in leadership and boardroom diversity, according to the 2022 Disability Equality Index report from Disability:IN, a global organization advocating for disability inclusion in the workplace. "People now understand that disability inclusion is not some kind of ADA compliance issue, but it's actually a business imperative," says Ted Kennedy Jr., co-chair of the Disability Equality Index."People today want to go to work for companies that they think are doing the right thing, that share their values, and share their vision of the world, making sure that people with disabilities have an equal shot at going to work at that company every single day."The Disability Equality Index is a benchmarking assessment, where leaders submit their companies to be scored in areas like technology accessibility, employment practices and culture. This year, the report covered 415 companies, including 69 from the Fortune 100, who were then ranked to identify the best places to work for disability inclusion. With scores of 100, these companies, along with several others, led the pack:Amazon Bank of AmericaCapital…

Flyhomes is the venture capital-fueled real estate company to fall victim to the slowdown in the housing market, opting to lay off 20% of its staff this week. To operate in a fiscally “prudent and sustainable” manner in the face of uncertain economic conditions, Flyhomes said it made the “difficult decision to reduce the size of our team,” in a LinkedIn post on Thursday.  “The past few months have brought the largest interest rate hike in nearly 30 years, and that has impacted the demand for housing,” the brokerage and lender said.  The Seattle company confirmed it laid off 20% of its workforce, but declined to disclose the current headcount or provide details on severance payments.  According to LinkedIn posts from affected employees, 200 people in Seattle and India were laid off on Thursday.

One of the biggest mistakes I made when I first started posting content on LinkedIn was not having an actual LinkedIn content strategy. I used to post content on a whim whenever I had an idea. The problem with that is that sometimes my content was all over the place in terms of topics, timing and approach. What I posted often resonated with my network, but it wasn’t intentional or strategic. And it took me a lot of time to create the posts, so it wasn’t efficient for me either. I may have gotten a lot of likes on some these posts but if they didn’t support my business goals, they really weren’t strategic. What I learned to do (and now what I teach my clients to do as well) is to create content with purpose and intention. Some people think LinkedIn is just a B2B business platform, but its power is so much stronger than that. It’s an incredibly effective way for businesses to reach consumers/customers (B2C). Did you know that only 4% of LinkedIn users actually consistently post on the platform and of that number, only a small percentage are actually posting content that helps to differentiate them…
