When ChatGPT burst onto the scene in November 2022, there was a lot of talk about generative AI rendering human creatives obsolete. While we haven’t found a tool that can match the nuanced output of experienced marketers, we do find ourselves using it to supercharge idea generation and speed up mundane tasks. If you’ve been meaning to incorporate AI into your routine but haven’t found the time to do so, we encourage you to take the plunge.

According to Steelcase Vice President of Workplace Insights Dr. Tracy Brower, PhD, MM, MCRW, a panelist at McCoy Rockford’s A NEU Conversation, roughly 30% of the workforce experiences some sort of cognitive, social or age-related difference in the way they perceive and relate to the world. While some of these differences may be accompanied by a diagnosis — such as autism or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder — many are not.

Since Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) was first identified in 1956, management strategies have been developed to address the complex cluster of symptoms associated with the disorder. The rapid weight gain, constant craving for food, learning difficulties, and behavioral challenges that characterize PWS can be managed with therapy, reduced-calorie diets, exercise, and medication.

A mother of three is rushed to the hospital when part of her face begins to droop and her speech is slurred. 
A construction worker slips and falls from a platform, striking his head against the ground. A child rapidly develops flu-like symptoms and a purple rash. What do each of these hypothetical patients have in common? They have all experienced some form of brain injury.

Since the 1980s, academics and tech leaders have argued that remote work is possible, especially for knowledge workers. But it wasn’t until the pandemic that companies in wealthy industrialized countries were forced into a global remote-work experiment. While we have learned that most tasks and meetings can be accomplished outside the office, it has also become increasingly clear that the interpersonal interactions facilitated by shared workspaces are more important than ever.

Search engine optimization (SEO) has come a long way since the term was first coined in the mid-1990s. In the early days of search engines (remember AltaVista and Ask Jeeves?), ranking highly in search results required little more than writing sufficient content and packing it full of more keywords than your competitors — a practice known as keyword stuffing.

Nexus Health Systems is pleased to announce a partnership between Nexus Children’s Hospital – Dallas and Pediatric Acute Care Associates of North Texas which will give pediatric patients at Medical City Hospital Dallas access to coordinated step-down care.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts brain development, resulting in problems with communication, difficulty in social situations, differences in sensory processing, and a tendency to repeat patterns of behavior. For children and adolescents with severe autism, the symptoms can be debilitating, especially when they co-occur with other medical conditions.

Picture this: You’re standing in the middle of a crowded trade show booth. Your signage and lighting positively sparkle as prospective customers eagerly engage with your interactive product displays. You’re fielding questions left and right, seamlessly gathering attendee data and swapping business cards like a networking ninja.

For more than a decade, mental, behavioral, and substance abuse disorders have been on the rise among young people. The COVID-19 pandemic only added to increasing instances of persistent sadness and hopelessness, as well as suicidal thoughts and behaviors. For many children and adolescents in need of emotional and behavioral care, residential rehabilitation can be highly effective — but it’s not always easy to motivate them to embrace the process.

If your child sustained a traumatic injury as the result of a car accident, the need for medical care would be obvious. Broken bones, damaged organs, and lacerations have visible effects that can’t be ignored. But what if your child became depressed during rehabilitation, or developed aggressive tendencies or anger management issues they hadn’t previously exhibited?

Whether you’re hosting a company-wide party, connecting in a one-to-one conversation or leading a small brainstorm, you’re gathering for a reason. Flexible workplace design envisions a variety of purposes for coming together and creates configurations that can be adapted to suit all of them. The key is thoughtful planning, as Priya Parker notes in The Art of Gathering: How We Meet And Why It Matters.
