What an amazing event! The Case Competition was made up of two phases: the pre-event virtual preparation, followed by the onsite oral presentation at the 27th Annual HR Florida Leadership Conference. As part of the competition’s virtual preparation, teams analyzed a business case study and offered a solution, prepared and submitted both a written executive summary and PowerPoint slides for the oral presentation that was given on the day of the competition.
Interruptions both in the workplace or while working at home are seemingly unavoidable. Your boss comes to your desk and asks how your weekend was when you are in the middle of working on a project for him, or simply you are just checking your texts and email while working. What’s the impact of these interruptions and what can we do about them?

Living and working in Florida has many advantages, but each year brings a new hurricane season and the threat of potentially damaging storms. An employer’s hurricane preparations should include awareness of the employment laws, which might be implicated in the event of a storm as well as planning to address storm-related issues.
