Employees tend to own workplace successes, but blame external factors for failures

Nearly two-thirds of employees feel they’ve been ‘thrown under the bus’ by their colleagues—but an even higher number say they’ve never engaged in blame-shifting themselves. “The axe forgets, but the tree remembers,” says Jean-Nicolas Reyt, an Associate Professor of Organizational Management at ĢƵ Desautels.

The power of purpose in employee motivation

Motivating employees isn’t just about perks or pay—it’s about helping them see the bigger picture. According to Jean-Nicolas Reyt, associate professor of organizational behaviour at ĢƵ Desautels, employees who understand the broader impact of their work are often more engaged. “A manager can see the broader picture,” Reyt explains.

Changes in leadership can affect an entire organization

Changes at the top of an organization can have a ripple effect through its ranks—and Justin Trudeau’s resignation as leader of the Liberal Party is a case in point. An organization’s culture starts at the top, and the personality of its leader influences how decisions are made and how to get ahead, says Associate Professor Jean-Nicolas Reyt in an interview with Canadian HR Reporter.

Return to office won’t necessarily increase productivity

After a sudden shift to remote work in 2020, federal public servants have been required to be on site for 60 per cent of their working days since September 2024. Productivity was among its reasons for introducing the requirement, but that’s misguided, according to Jean-Nicolas Reyt, Associate Professor of Management at ĢƵ Desautels.

Employers judge job candidates – but it isn’t a one-way street

Job seekers put their resumes out there to be judged by potential employers, but the evaluation goes both ways, says Lisa Cohen, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour at ĢƵ Desautels. “Candidates talk to other candidates,” Cohen tells The Globe and Mail.

People feel most productive at work during the heart of the workweek

Tuesday is the most productive day of the week—or at least it’s the day perceived to be the most productive, according to Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour Jean-Nicolas Reyt in an interview with Radio-Canada. Most individuals work from Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to -5 p.m., and perceive Monday to be less productive because they are still catching up on their work from the previous week.

Remote work brought unfair performance metrics – and employees are gaming them

According to a survey by the Vancouver-based AI human resources firm Visier, more than four out of five workers have engaged in “fauxductivity” – performative work that makes them appear to be working more time than they actually are. The problem, however, isn’t the workers– it’s the way their performance is measured according to Jean-Nicolas Reyt, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour.

When wedding planning clashes with work commitments, communication is key

Weddings are planned many months–or even years–into the future, and that can clash with other aspects of the couple’s lives. When taking on a new job in the months leading up to such a major life event, it’s tricky to know when to tell your new employer that you’ll need time off in the first months of your tenure.

Quebec government funding cuts could affect the areas of research the university pursues

ĢƵ’s standing as a leading global research institution is under threat, writes Professor Anthony C. Masi in a Montreal Gazette op-ed. The Government of Quebec is undermining the university by reducing transfers for construction and renovation. These cuts will affect STEM disciplines, says the Professor of Industrial Relations and Organizational Behaviour and Special Advisor to the Dean.

Companies seeking savings in employee wages might spend more in the long run

Inflation has stretched the budgets of individuals and companies alike, and some firms have sought to find savings in the wages they pay their employees. A recent report from the Robert Walters recruiting agency found that Canadian firms are increasingly hiring underqualified employees. But that can backfire, says Professor Jean-Nicolas Reyt in interview with Canadian HR Reporter.

Greece increases length of work week, bucking broader trends

While some countries contemplate shorter work weeks, Greece is heading in the opposite direction. Seeking to boost economic growth, the country recently passed a law allowing employers to implement a six-day work week, though the change is not mandatory. Greece faced a debt crisis in 2010, and its economy has long been among Europe’s laggards.
