This story originally appeared on  Zacks Markets closed Tuesday at or near session lows today — another rough one for equities trading. The Dow broke a four-day winning streak to fall -570 points, -1.63% on the day — and now in the negative for Q3. The S&P 500 lost 90 points, or -2.04%, for its worst day since May, while the Nasdaq posted its worst single day since May: -2.83%, or -423 points. The Small-cap Russell 2000 was not spared; it was down -2.25% today, as well. It’s been a rather reliably bad September for the markets — historically the worst single month of the year. Currently, we see supply constraint issues meeting with an unsure near-term future with the budget of the federal governme

3 Steps Leaders Can Take to Avoid Team Burnout as the Pandemic Continues

  As the pandemic continues to rage, workers around the world are still struggling with feelings of stress and burnout. A   recent Microsoft survey   of 30,000 people found that 54% of employees are overworked and 39% are exhausted. These concerning stats show little sign of improvement as people’s mental health and work/life balance continue to suffer as we face new guidance and updated restrictions due to the evolving nature of this pandemic.
