About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Morgan Stanley at Work’s Third Annual State of the Workplace Study Highlights Importance of Financial Wellness and Retirement Guidance as Employees Struggle With Financial Planning

By: via Business Wire
  •  HR leaders concerned that employees struggle to stay productive at work due to outside financial stressors
  • Amid economic obstacles, employees continue to scale back on retirement contributions—especially Millennials and Gen Z
  • Financial wellness benefits saw popularity jump year-over-year
  • The importance of role of the financial advisor linked to retirement planning increased

Morgan Stanley at Work today released the latest findings from its third annual State of the Workplace Financial Benefits Study, which reveals how employees are responding to financial challenges when it comes to their decisions around financial wellness and retirement benefits:

  • Financial stress is a key concern for employers and employees alike: More than 83% of HR leaders worry that employees’ financial issues could impact their productivity, while 66% of employees agree that financial stress is negatively affecting their work and personal life.
  • And employees continue to scale back retirement contributions—especially younger cohorts: 66% of employees (up from 62% in 2022) have reduced contributions to their accounts, citing inflation and/or concerns of a recession—particularly to 401(k) plans (33%), long-term savings (28%), and emergency and short-term savings (28%).
    • Gen Z (78%) and Millennials (80%) especially say they had to scale back on contributions compared to their Gen X (58%) and Boomer (40%) counterparts.
  • Retirement assistance and retention are increasingly linked: 84% of HR leaders now view retirement planning assistance as a high or top priority in retaining current employees, up from 76% last year. Similarly, 92% of employees view retirement planning assistance as a priority when choosing where to work.
  • Financial wellness programs gain in popularity: Nearly 9 in 10 HR leaders (89%) now say they offer financial wellness programs (a 10-percentage point gain over 2021).
  • Financial advisors continue to gain importance to employees: Nearly 3 in 5 employees now rank retirement planning assistance from financial professionals as a high priority when choosing where to work—including 25% who say it’s their top priority.

“This past year we’ve seen an economic climate that frankly a lot of workplace participants—especially younger generations—have likely never experienced before,” said Krystal Barker Buissereth, Head of the Executive Services at Morgan Stanley at Work. “As a result, financial wellness programs are becoming even more sought-after, and HR leaders can play a vital role by connecting employees with resources to help them navigate each step of their financial journeys.”

“Employees want and need greater support when it comes to long-term retirement planning, and while we’re seeing financial guidance being recognized as a priority for HR leaders, there is still more employers can do to support and retain talent,” said Anthony Bunnell, Head of Retirement Solutions and Deferred Compensation at Morgan Stanley at Work. "These are the times when plan advisors shine by lending seasoned expertise and a steady hand to help ensure employee finances and investments are well positioned to weather whatever economic and market conditions may come our way.”

Additional details are available in Morgan Stanley at Work’s State of the Workplace Study here. As part of a series of findings from Morgan Stanley at Work’s third annual study, the business published its findings on equity and financial benefits.

Methodology: The data from the Morgan Stanley at Work Employees Survey and HR Leaders Survey comes from a survey of 1,000 U.S.-employed adults and 600 HR leaders for companies. The survey was conducted on behalf of Morgan at Stanley at Work using an email invitation and an online survey between March 16th and March 22nd, 2023 and April 6th and April 12th, by Wakefield Research (www.wakefieldresearch.com).
