Workspan Daily Author Guidelines and Submission Instructions
What is Workspan Daily?

Workspan Daily is a free publication that provides news and insights on important topics for the HR and rewards professions. 

Who is the audience?

Workspan Daily reaches a global audience of HR and rewards professionals (leaders, practitioners and consultants) working in a wide range of industries. Readers include both members and nonmembers of WorldatWork. A weekly email showcasing the latest Workspan Daily articles reaches more than 60,000 readers.

What makes a Workspan Daily article great?

Great Daily articles do one or more of the following:

  • Make readers aware of new developments in the HR and rewards fields. (Examples may include new trends, regulations, court rulings, technologies, or work methods that affect our readers and inform how they can perform their jobs more effectively.)
  • Help readers understand the impact of a change. Can it create time or cost savings? Bolster organizational culture? Cause unanticipated challenges? Because Daily articles are relatively short, they cannot provide detailed information of this type; however, they do seek to provide some insight into the repercussions of a news event or trend, where applicable.  
  • Clearly convey data via graphs, charts and other visual elements. (Final production of graphics is handled by WorldatWork staff and freelance partners.)
