🚀 The Evolution of the Employee The workplace has transformed dramatically over the years—and so have the expectations for employees. Here’s how the shift from the past to the future employee looks: ⏰ From working 9-5 ➡️ To working anytime 🏢 From corporate offices ➡️ To working anywhere 💻 From using company equipment ➡️ To using any device 📊 From focusing on inputs ➡️ To focusing on outputs And perhaps most importantly: 🔗 From hoarding information ➡️ To sharing it 🎓 From corporate-led learning ➡️ To democratized, adaptive learning 🎙 From having no voice ➡️ To becoming a leader 💡 Why it matters: Organizations that embrace this evolution aren’t just adapting—they’re thriving. By empowering employees to work flexibly, think creatively, and take ownership, companies can unlock incredible innovation and growth. 🔥 Are you evolving with the times? Is your workplace embracing collaboration technologies? Are you focused on outputs instead of inputs? And most critically—are you building a culture of shared leadership? Let’s keep this evolution going. The future of work is here! #FutureOfWork #EmployeeExperience #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #Innovation

🌱 Who’s responsible for the evolution of an ecosystem? The change agents: those ready to unite individual agendas and drive collective action through an interconnected strategy. The challenge—and the blessing—is that change agents are everywhere, from the C-Suite, to the frontline, and in the messy middle. Since change agents often work independently, they need a way to come together—a reason to rally their resources. This is why workplace initiatives are so exciting and impactful. They hold the highest potential in modern organizations, offering a new structure where cross-sections of leaders can collaborate and drive real systemic change. Now, you can see initiatives happening inside BRGs and ERGs; they are also emerging through special projects. Though as we continue moving forward into the future of work, workplace initiatives will become central to business sprints—accelerating missions and shaping the broader ecosystem. Since founding Higher Playbook six years ago, I’ve seen first-hand how a non-localized workforce has dissolved traditional structures. The workplace has evolved from a place of productivity to a hub for connectivity, making initiatives a central part of sustaining a workforce yearning for a connection to something greater than themselves. In order to build a truly interconnected workplace, where what we do inside our organizations serves the broader world, it’s vital for professionals to believe in our power as change agents, to identify the causes that matter to us, and focus on one initiative at a time. Ultimately, from one organization to the next, we have an opportunity in the now to activate our collective power as a network of change agents through aligning in causes and initiatives that matter to the world at large… so that the entire business ecosystem can rise. ☀ #ecosystems #interconnectivity #futureofwork #workplaceexperience #futurists #innovators #socialinnovation

🌟 2025’s Winning Formula: Less Chaos, More Clarity 🌟 As we gear up for 2025, the message from employees is clear: cut the chaos. In his latest piece, Simon Daly from Qualtrics highlights a major shift in the workplace. The best employers next year won’t just offer perks or hybrid options; they’ll be those who prioritize simplicity, streamline processes, and reduce unnecessary demands on their teams. Why? Because constant pressure, shifting strategies, and unending new tools are burning people out. The numbers say it all: 39% of UK employees feel overwhelmed by a need for constant productivity gains. 56% lack proper training on AI tools, adding to daily stress rather than reducing it. Employers who focus on training, cutting clutter, and empowering their teams will see engagement and productivity soar. In 2025, let’s lead with purpose—creating workplaces where employees are equipped to thrive, not just survive. 🌱 🔹 How are you simplifying workflows for your team? #FutureOfWork #EmployeeEngagement #Leadership #2025Workplace #WorkplaceWellbeing

In the dynamic and competitive realm of business today, organizations frequently emphasize the development of innovative products, the adoption of groundbreaking technology, and the implementation of strategic marketing initiatives, among other aspects. However, workplace culture is not merely a significant element in the success of an organization; it constitutes the very foundation of any thriving organization. It is crucial for unleashing an organization's complete capabilities, paving the way for a future that is not only brighter but also more prosperous.   Anjan Pathak, CTO and Co-Founder of Vantage Circle, underscores the critical significance of workplace culture in a recent article published in The Sentinel.    To read the full article, click on the link below: https://lnkd.in/gTAwiN8h #employeeengagement #workplaceculture #humanresourcesmanagement

In my role as a leader at Scotiabank, I’ve found that implementing a well-structured hybrid model is crucial for driving improvement and efficiency within our team. Inspired by insights from leaders like McKinsey & Company, we prioritize clear practices, defined expectations, and transparency. We foster mutual trust and support, being intentional about where and how we work, promoting clarity in our work practices, defined performance expectations, transparency, intentionality about where people work, fostering trust and mutual support, and a continuous learning and testing approach. Our commitment isn’t about strict compliance, but about being flexible and continuously learning. We work with clear objectives and a defined purpose, ensuring our team is engaged and performs at a high level, regardless of their location. This approach allows us to better adapt to circumstances, achieving mutual satisfaction and success. #BusinessTransformation #HybridModel #OrganizationalEfficiency #FlexibleWork #ContinuousLearning #CultureOfTrust #McKinsey

💡 Hello fellow People Analytics enthusiasts, I/O Psychologists and my LinkedIn Community! I recently had the amazing opportunity to present at the University of Pennsylvania The Wharton School People Analytics 2024 Case Competition alongside my peers Ananya Shah, Pallavi Janiani and Anway Agte from New York University. We delved deep into understanding employee workspace preference—whether remote or in-person—and factors that affect productivity. Questions Asked! 1. What factors predict people’s preferences about where to work and where they feel the most productive? 2. Should different employee groups be managed in different ways or be provided with different infrastructure? 🔍 Here are a few insights from the presentation: 1. Design Optimal Workplaces: Employees prefer specific design & stimuli features that boost productivity which can differ by job family! These spaces should be designed on the basis of collaborative and focus stimuli features such as light, color vibrancy, and activity levels as well as workplace design importance features such as office furniture, noise level, privacy, and natural elements. 2. Pilot Program for Flexible Scheduling: Job Family differences were identified for both remote work preference and office productivity. This will allow employees in job families with a preference for remote work to choose in-office days, aligning with team collaboration & focus work preferences. 3. Facilitate Effective Hybrid Collaboration: There's a clear preference for a hybrid model, balancing in-person collaboration with the autonomy of remote work. This includes offering stipends for employees to enhance their home offices with essentials like desks, decor, and tech tools, alongside setting clear hybrid meeting protocols, such as mandatory camera usage, minimizing room chatter, and assigning a dedicated facilitator to oversee remote interactions. These insights came from a comprehensive data analysis conducted from employee survey data collected from 1000+ employees from a workplace design firm PLASTARC, Inc. - hearing directly from the workforce. The goal? To craft work environments that not only meet operational needs but also foster innovation, creativity, and well-being. 🎥 I’ve included a recording of my presentation for those who couldn't attend or would love to revisit the insights shared. Let’s shape the future of work together with informed, data-driven decisions! 👉 Link: https://lnkd.in/gRhQ4YTE Let's discuss!
