Management Perspectives

"Myth 1: Employee experience is about ping pong, perks, and parties—not profit.
Myth 2: HR is in the Employee Experience driver’s seat.
Myth 3: We handled this a few years ago.
Myth 4: An annual engagement survey is enough.
Myth 5: Technology will make work less human."

Organisations often forget that their earliest successes were built on curiosity, creativity, and constant reinvention. As AI reshapes the nature of work, these qualities become essential for survival. Reinvention cannot be delegated to innovation teams or episodic transformation initiatives.

‘Conditional telework’, with all its conveniences, is fast gaining acceptance among management as well as employees, alike. However, it does come with its set of disadvantages too and many aspects of it are up for debate.

Digital or not, most transformations do not cross the finish line. You might achieve your numbers for a while, but then people slip back to the old ways of working and nothing sticks, leaving you to solve the same problem again. In order to outdo poor transformation and engagement stats, we must manage to engage because the future of business is (still) people.
