A vacation offers you the chance to revitalize and renew your mind and body. Vacations offer us a change of scenery, a thrill, and a means of escaping routine and fatigue. A healthy and balanced lifestyle requires vacations, just like a decent diet and regular exercise. Although some may view them as luxuries, they are important if you want to live a better and more full life. While vacations also trigger your productivity as you return with a fresh mind, Chanty does the same for you too.

As 2023 draws to a close, we look back on a year that has not only been about growth and achievement but also about embracing change and pushing the boundaries of innovation.

As we slide into the fourth industrial revolution and the lines between physical and digital experiences fuzz, distributed work isn’t going away. Managers and employees need to trust each other, or we risk backsliding into the bad old days of panopticon monitoring.

Employees who feel their privacy is respected are more likely to speak up, share ideas, and collaborate effectively.

The unfortunate legacy of employee monitoring has less to do with employee monitoring per se and more to do with management philosophies rooted in compliance and hierarchy. Early employee monitoring methods evolved from top-down, compliance-first management styles. As a result, the approaches relied on methods that weren’t exactly employee-friendly: Collaboration isn’t built in. Employees aren’t given agency. Well-being takes a backseat to hours worked.

Think you can skip a holiday party with your distributed team? Think again. Remote workers reportedly admit that they feel less connected to their colleagues.

Your holiday celebration doesn’t need to suffer just because you’re apart.

Has 2023 been a bumpy ride for your agency? Like you’re swimming upstream with one arm tied behind your back and a crocodile snapping at your heels? Whatever your experience has been this year, it’s sure to have been a disruptive one. From the ongoing economic and geo-political uncertainty, to shifting client and consumer behavior, to rapid technological change, the agency landscape is more complex and competitive than ever.

There’s a lot of interest in the opportunity of artificial intelligence (AI) for IT service management (ITSM), especially with the media hype caused by ChatGPT and other generative AI tools. This is not only influencing ITSM tool product development, it’s also had an impact on “marketing machines” and the terms employed to help sell products and services.
