  • Burnout: how to prevent, heal and deal with it
    Mar 21 2023

    Burnout in the workplace is a growing concern as more and more employees are feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by the demands of their jobs. Burnout can manifest in a variety of ways, including physical and emotional fatigue, lack of motivation, and difficulty concentrating. It can also lead to decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and a higher risk of mental health issues, in addition to high costs to the companies these employees work for.

    Burnout is more common in IT professionals due to a combination of factors, such as a lack of work-life balance, lack of recognition, inadequate compensation, and lack of autonomy.
    Today we are hosting Jordana Shapiro, Cato Networks’ Global Organizational Development & Learning Director. We will discuss ways to prevent burnout, methods for healing and recovering from burnout, and strategies for dealing with burnout in the workplace.

    So, whether you're an employee, manager, or business owner, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

  • Forvis = DHG + BKD: Using SASE to streamline M&A in a Top 10 US accounting firm
    Dec 13 2022

    In mid-2022 two large US accounting firms, Dixon Hughes Goodman (DHG) and BKD, joined forces to create Forvis, a $1.5B business ranking #8 in the top 100 US accounting firms. Forvis is a merger of equals, with a total footprint of over 70 locations and more than 5,000 employees. Rationalizing the networking, security, and remote access infrastructure of both organizations and creating a common architecture presented a unique challenge.

    Our guest, John Bowels, is the CIO of Forvis that previously served as the CIO of DHG. Join us to hear about the path taken by John, the IT leader of the newly formed Forvis, to bring together both organizations into the SASE platform used by DHG since 2019. This is an on-going and multi-faceted endeavor involving cultural, operational, and technical change.
