It's not every day you get a chance to share the research you are doing with The Wall Street Journal. Thanks for the opportunity to contribute some of the Perceptyx data about workplace loneliness, Te-Ping Chen. Ever since the surgeon general highlighted the loneliness epidemic, it's been top of mind. We spend a third of our lives at work; if we get this right, we could change lives. We have to figure out how to help our employees feel more connected to one another -- whether they work in a crowded office, a busy hospital, or with a puppy beside them in a home office. One thing that hasn't worked? More meetings. Over 40% of people who describe themselves as very lonely spend more than half of their work hours in meetings. Meetings are not substitutes for connection. What's the best thing your organization has done to build connections? https://lnkd.in/gEdw6w5j

Thank you for sharing these critical insights on the "mental tax" that diverse leaders face. So much of what you said resonated with me and numerous other Black and Brown female leaders. As a female leader who has had a seat at many tables, I have sometimes suffered from "Imposter Syndrome" alongside being mentally taxed. I wholeheartedly agree that we all need to look to our neighbors, our leaders, and our minority business owners to help lift them up, and recognize that we can empower one another. By doing so, we can build a more inclusive environment for ourselves and the next generation. Let's all commit to supporting and uplifting our diverse leaders, understanding the unique pressures they face, and championing a culture of true inclusion and empowerment. I also encourage our leaders who do not fall into a diverse category to not only send their "diverse" representatives to diversity conferences but to attend themselves. Every perspective is important for fostering an inclusive environment that helps those of us who have a seat at the table—and may be the only one—feel a sense of belonging. Together, we can ensure that every leader has the opportunity to thrive without the added burden of counteracting stereotypes and biases. #Inclusion #Leadership #Diversity #MentalHealth #Innovation

Dan Priest, PwC's Chief AI Officer, and I have been discussing how AI is reshaping the way we work at PwC. While AI brings incredible opportunities, it’s our people who drive the real transformation.     We understand that AI is more than just a tool—it’s changing how we innovate and deliver to our clients. That's why we're investing in our people, equipping them to navigate the evolving landscape and exemplify what it means to be human-led and tech-powered.     Check out our feature in Computerworld to see how we’re embracing #AI together and what our investment means for our future.

I've spent a lot of time over the past few weeks working closely with leaders and employees to foster respect and civility in the workplace. A recent article I read highlighted that 7 out of 10 employees want their organization and leaders to do more to promote a respectful environment. It’s clear: this isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s essential. Organizations are unique spaces where diverse values, perspectives, and experiences converge around shared goals. With the right strategies, they have a powerful opportunity to build understanding and skills that benefit everyone—and employees are asking for it. In my recent sessions, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. People aren't seeing these efforts as just “another mandatory session” but as practical, impactful steps that build community and strengthen their workplace culture. And when organizations actively support these values, it’s not only good for employees—it’s good for business. How are things in your organization? Are you noticing more heated interactions or an increase in instances of disrespect? If so, you're not alone—and there’s a real opportunity to address it meaningfully. Let’s talk about how your organization can create a more respectful, thriving workplace. https://lnkd.in/dum_yVUT #respect #civility #workplaceculture #letsworktogether

I continue to be amazed by the ways that our people are using GenAI to deliver outcomes to our clients! I loved seeing how Susan Sullivan Drea, a PwC managing director in Workforce Transformation, used our internal GenAI tool to better visualize 400+ change impacts for her client by creating a new dashboard. Her story is a great reminder that with human judgment and review, #GenAI has the potential to help organizations navigate change while keeping their employee experiences top-of-mind.

Financial planning advice, flexible-hybrid work, certification, and learning are all very old-school and conservative ideas ANSR. No doubt, in C&B, the B for benefits is the queen (not the girlfriend)! Use modern day benefits: 1. Unlimited casual and sick leaves 2. Menstrual leave 3. Life Insurance and Health Insurance for lifetime for staff/alumni! 4. Medical cover for Cosmetic surgery, Gender reconfirmation surgery, Laser eye surgery, lenses, specs, etc. 5. OPD expenses covered for staff and dependents 6. Extended Medical Insurance Cover for family for 3 years, even after quitting the job 7. Hair Transplant cover 8. Mental Health hotline and 2 annual fully-paid rehab times at top rated Spa/Rehab center for staff and spouse 9. 20% discount on buying company shares in India and the US. 10. 2X gratuity for 5 years completion and 3X for 10 years and in such multiples for next 5 yr milestones. 11. The MacBook and iPhone for all new joiners 12. Joining Bonus of 1/5Base pay and 1/5 base pay as retention bonus annually. 13. Work from anywhere for 90 days a year (at a stretch or in 2 breaks) 14. 50% subsidized EVs for staff with free charging facility at workplace. Let's be liberal and modern GCCs... By 2040, anyways 90% of IT/tech employees would work for GCCs as there won't be too many Indian firms left by that time! Ask Visara Partners for their latest whitepaper on Benefits strategy for India staff in the post Covid era! GCCs are paying over a Million Dollar (Rs. 9 Cr) salary to at least 100 employees in India as ANSR reported few months back. So, expecting some liberal benefits as I listed is not going to cost more.
