BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Employers are not going to like this: 75% of employees admit they are doing other things during remote meetings, 39% of whom say they are browsing social media.

Other distractions included reading the news (39%) and reading books (39%), according to the resume services website LiveCareer.com, which this month released the results of its survey of 1,000 employees on their feelings about workplace meetings.

Distractions aside, 61% said they believe workplace meetings still benefit them and 70% think that online meetings are a great opportunity to see and talk with people when working remotely, with 39% saying they keep their cameras on.

Overall, the survey found that half of the respondents prefer attending in-person meetings, while 31% confess that they find online meetings more stressful.
