Not having your camera on! I want to see the person I am communicating with, not just their initials in a circle on the screen.

No camera, not paying attention (multi tasking) and the biggest, not muting when not talking

All of the above...would you do them in a f2f call? Yes there are times when literally there is no time to get lunch between meetings or you gave up your lunch for an important meeting. But I'd go off video or atleast excuse myself.

Dress for work....regardless of where it is

Guilty of multi tasking on video meetings

If we want recognition budgets to actually make sense, what factors should decide how much each business unit gets beyond just headcount and employee or unit performance?

Looking for input on how organizations are preparing for California’s new AB 692, which will restrict training repayment agreements, stay-or-pay provisions, and other clawback-style requirements starting January 1, 2026. This could affect sign-on bonuses, relocation packages, training reimbursements, and similar incentives.

I’m curious what others are considering.

Are you planning to remove clawback language from offer letters?

Restructuring or eliminating sign-on/relocation bonuses?

Changing payout timing (e.g., paying after one year)?

Moving to alternative incentives that don’t trigger repayment issues?

Any early insights or approaches would be very helpful.

Do you have a recognition program for green team members and if so, how do you celebrate them at the end of the year? Do you provide a gift, ceremony, both, etc. Please provide specifics on gifts. Thank you.
