When it comes to generational differences in the workplace, the Golden Rule is probably not your best guide. It sounds like common sense. Why wouldn’t we treat our co-workers or direct reports the way we would want to be treated? But what you find encouraging or helpful or motivational might not resonate with your younger or older co-workers. And the bigger the generational gap, the more likely that is to be the case.

Like professionals in so many other sectors, it seems clear that federal workers want more remote work options, even as people return to in-person operations. A hybrid work environment could be an effective compromise, and it’s a direction that federal agencies are considering. Yet, hybrid work comes with specific security challenges because some employees are off the network and using personal machines.

Battery backup systems have come a long way from the clunky devices once used to protect individual computers. Today, they are networkable, rack-mountable and easy to manage. They can even convert dirty power into a clean sine wave that can extend the life of valuable equipment. And yes, they still provide power in the event of an outage. The Eaton 9PX UPS is a great example of this new generation of battery backup devices designed to easily integrate into almost any network.

We were people before we were workers. Though our work is meaningful, it’s not who we are. Our life outside of work matters, and family, health and individual pursuits are central to our well-being. When professional obligations bleed into every available moment, it takes a toll on employees’ lives, and prevents them from doing their best work. To move forward, agencies need well-balanced, well-rested, inspired employees, not burned-out ones.

One of the pitfalls in adopting DevOps is what you might call Peter Pan Syndrome. An agency’s initial forays into integrating their development and operations teams can bear fruit quickly, leading to better quality software produced at a faster clip. The risk is that an organization will treat its initial forays as the endgame, not realizing that a more mature approach, with greater payoffs, is possible.
