October kicked off with a major leadership move: Emma Chalwin officially stepped into her role as Chief Marketing Officer at Accenture, following an executive search led by Monday Talent CEO and Co-Founder Jamie McLaughlin.

Your next hire might be perfectly happy where they are.
Workers are changing jobs at rates comparable to the years following the financial crisis, according to reporting from The Wall Street Journal. With hiring and employee departures both relatively low, employers are finding that even strong opportunities aren't always enough to convince someone to make a move.
We explored this challenge in our October piece on attracting passive talent. Competitive salaries and exciting job descriptions still matter, but candidates are also weighing flexibility, trusted managers, and the relationships they've built. Our advice to hiring teams: understand what someone values about their current position, be specific about what your opportunity offers, and give them a hiring process that builds confidence.

Business relationships are still built beyond the office.
With so much professional communication happening through screens, making time for in-person connections remains an important part of building strong business relationships.

From the timeless French dining at Le Veau d'Or to the intimate atmosphere of Casa Tua, we shared our favorite places for conversations worth having outside the conference room.
