The Wobbly Chair Test: An Interviewer's Unusual Interview Method
• Some interviewers use a 'wobbly chair test' during interviews to assess candidates' reactions to unexpected discomfort.
• Positive reactions, such as calmly tolerating the discomfort or politely requesting a change, demonstrate composure, problem-solving skills, and proactivity.
• Negative reactions, like complaining without offering a solution, may indicate a lack of focus or inability to handle minor workplace disruptions.
• While this unconventional method aims to gauge personality and resilience, its fairness and relevance to job requirements are debated, raising ethical concerns about its use in the hiring process. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips

Post-Pandemic Workplace Transformation
• The COVID-19 pandemic drastically altered workplace dynamics, with a surge in remote work and hybrid models, leaving a lasting impact on employee engagement and wellbeing.
• While remote work initially offered flexibility, it also led to decreased employee engagement, a decline in connection to company purpose, and increased feelings of isolation.
• Employee wellbeing has significantly deteriorated since the pandemic, with rising stress levels, burnout, and a record low percentage of employees feeling their organization cares about their wellbeing.
• The 'Great Detachment' sees employees seeking new jobs but feeling unable to leave due to market conditions, impacting overall job satisfaction and increasing pressure on managers.
• Effective leadership, clear communication, and investment in employee wellbeing are crucial for organizations to navigate these challenges and build a thriving and engaged workforce in this evolving landscape. #AWU #disability #jobs
