How Employers Can Avoid Holiday Party Hazards 
Beth Zoller, JD
Legal Editor
XpertHR
New Jersey
'Tis the season for office holiday parties, and employers have a few things they should check twice. Says Zoller: "While a workplace holiday get-together may be a good idea to thank employees for a job well done and encourage camaraderie and good cheer, a festive celebration may carry a number of risks from employers. From potential harassment claims to religious discrimination to the increased risk of drinking and driving, an employer must be careful and take specific precautions in order to protect itself."
Zoller holds and Juris Doctor degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, and experienced in employment law, having represented employers in discrimination and harassment cases, contract disputes, and more. As Legal Editor, she covers employment issues, and has been quoted in publication such as The Huffington Post and Business Insider.

Worker Engagement
Yvette Bethel
Founder and CEO
Organizational Soul
The 2017 Gallup State of the American Workplace report found that 67 percent of American workers are either not engaged or are actively disengaged. Internationally, 87 percent of workers fall within these two categories. Because of this, organizational decision makers are paying closer attention to engagement levels because they understand the intricate link between engagement and team performance. Engagement is linked to trust, and together they create a powerful driver of performance. Edelman's 2018 Trust Barometer points out that in 2017, the world faced a global crisis of trust because of the combined and cumulative actions of the media, government, and corporations. As a result, a battle to find the truth has emerged, making trust an increasingly valuable commodity. Says Bethel: "We live in an unpredictable global environment, so it is a time of business as unusual, and survival of the most agile. Now that we have entered uncharted territory, modern people effectiveness solutions cannot be enhanced versions of conventional strategies."
Bethel, an award-winning author, podcaster, Fulbright Scholar, and organizational consultant, is solving these problems with her proven Interconnectivity, Flow and Balance Model. With more than 20 years of experience at a Fortune 500 company and 11 years at Organizational Soul, Bethel helps organizations transform their cultures by building productive work relationships. Her new book, "Interconnectivity, Flow, and Balance: A Values-Based Framework for Reinventing Leadership in Uncertain Times," serves as a guide to leaders to see their organizations in a new light and help them strengthen and enrich their systems.

Blockchain for Transparent, Fair Economic Spaces
George Goognin
Board member and chief spokesman
Mile Unity Foundation
"Free and equal access to cross-border trading, investments, and money remittance is very important in building international relationships, uniting nations, and creating new economical spaces and a multi-polar balanced sustainable world. To provide it, there should be an infrastructure with certain qualities including fast cross-border exchange of goods, commodities, money, and other assets; transparency for targeted use of funds and protection of investors; and stability and political neutrality. Blockchain technologies are a suitable tool for creating new transparent, fair economic spaces."
