Off to Work We Go

You've found Heigh Ho — gritty, factual stories that make sense of work and working life. Subscribe for free.

There are so many voices talking about work: HR and business experts, thought leaders, researchers, and, of course, workers themselves.

Heigh Ho is the newsletter, published by Bob Merberg (with 25+ years as an employee wellbeing leader), that weaves these perspectives in an offbeat, informative, and practical way.

Heigh Ho is for you if you’re someone who thinks about work — as a worker, a manager, an HR leader, a labor advocate, or even an antiwork enthusiast.

Previous articles explore a range of evidence-based topics that offers something for everyone, like:

• How does listening to music on-the-job affect work?

• What happens when job holders are expected to smile even when they don’t feel like it?

• How do early job experiences shape future working life?

• How does unpaid domestic work affect women’s mental health, financial wellbeing, and return-to-office?

Unlike most work-related media, Heigh Ho doesn’t focus exclusively on “desk workers.”

We’re not properly talking about work if everyone isn’t included. Heigh Ho features Q&As and interviews with workers like dishwashers, truck drivers, miners, and transit operators.
