Starting a new job can be nerve-wracking, but having someone to lean on can help make it a little easier. Nearly two-thirds of Gen Z employees leave their job within the first year, but a recent US study found that when new hires join an organization as a group, employee retention is better.

In times of great economic uncertainty, even institutional traders can be at a loss for how to manage a portfolio.
