One place where there is a gap in adult financial education is programs for older adults age 65+. The bulk of community and workplace programs cover financial tasks and decisions to get “to retirement,” not “through retirement."

There’s a stark difference between organizations that have good employee engagement and those that don’t. One can boast employees who are always excited about tackling the next part of the project, look for innovative ways to add value, and strive to outdo themselves on a daily basis.

Recently, I bemoaned how Orwell is often invoked in support of an argument by people who haven’t read him. They are usually drawing on some laundered misperception of his work, and especially Nineteen Eighty-Four. Well, this month I witnessed somebody misapplying the work of Kafka in a similar attempt to make a middlebrow point about the so-called return to office.

But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace.
