Oppressed but engaged?– The benefits of workplace relationships

Investing in positive relationships at work benefits the individual and the organization. These relationships expand your social and professional network, slow down burnout, and contribute to a positive organizational climate that helps increase your and your colleagues’ work engagement, which we have seen is a critical factor in job satisfaction.

Yitro:
Rabbi Gedalia Meyer's Weekly Torah Study

Societies need rules and regulations in order to survive, hopefully in peace and prosperity. The most famous and most universal set of laws handed down from G-d to man are the Ten Commandments, which have long since become the fundamental do’s and don’ts that guide healthy societies the world over.
