Changing The Workplace with AI and Automation
The workplace has been at the front seat in seeing how automation and AI has grown to help productivity. But the big question is how will the two technologies further influence the workplace of the future?

When Age Is an Asset
HR needs to keep in mind that while young talent can bring with them the new skills necessary to take advantage of technological advancements, it is the older and more mature workers who have the experience interacting with clients and knowledge of how the business world works.


- The Truth About Performance Appraisals
Even for people who love their job and performs well, performance reviews or appraisals must be a very unnerving process, an assessment tool that by its very nature brings self-doubt of their accomplishments. It is, however, a necessary instrument to gauge performance based on a set of (often mutually agreed) targets. So, we offer suggestions how this process can be better.


- Video Interviews Are Here to Stay
Video interviews were a no-brainer during the lockdowns: the technology was ripe, internet availability widespread, and above everything else there was no other viable option. But don’t worry — it’ll continue to be the norm, and we list the reasons why, here.

- Experience for Hire
Private companies across multiple industries have quietly been acknowledging that the larger problem in getting an employee who fit into their needs turns out not to be education. If anything, despite more universities stamping out graduates across the world, many countries are still reporting a talent deficit.

- Meeting Pressure
Two and a half years of video calls have given rise to a problem called Zoom fatigue. Simply put, workers around the world are reporting of burnout from having their lives taken over by working, specifically being on videoconference all the time.

- Post. Argue. Delete. Regret
People say the darndest things on the internet, be it celebrities or regular folks. But an employee should always be mindful of what they air on social media, especially if it could jeopardize their employer’s reputation. What rights do companies have when staff cross the line?

- Zoomed Out
Videoconferencing seemed fine at first. But over two years on, Zoom fatigue is an actual distress that’s reported by remote workers all over the world. It was nice while it lasted…

- Conflict Resolution
Diversity of talent comes with a diversity of personalities. This means that conflict is just a matter of time as said personalities eventually clash. Here’s how HR can make sure that things are not taken too far.

- The Pain Points of Gossip
When the chit chat that is vital to office relationships veers into the unhealthy and hurtful realm of gossip – especially those that trades in talking badly about others – it is HR’s job to do something about it.

- After-Hours Communication
There has been some discussion over the past decade regarding the potential banning of after-hours emails in certain countries. But there really is no one-size-fits-all solution. As such, creating an effective after-hours policy will require a bit more finesse than usual.

- Updating Salary Structures
We talk about salary structures and issues that surface if it goes out of sync with the market. Pay too much and you’re needlessly adding to operating costs, but pay too little and it’s difficult to attract or retain talent.

- No Growth Without Health
Workers now expect employers to view them as individual human beings, not merely another cog in the machine. Thus, a key factor in retaining top talent is for companies to embrace an employee-centric business model.

- From Great Resignation to Great Retention
While the ‘war for talent’ was something that HR experts expected, they could not have predicted it would happen so suddenly. For now, most businesses are reacting with the one tool that they can easily access: money.

- HR Gets a Bad Rep
HR is an incredibly challenging role for an organization to balance. It is arguably the most challenging role. But at the end of the day, HR is a management function that needs to meet the needs of the employer.

- Improving a Hostile Work Environment
Spotting signs of a toxic workplace is difficult and failing to do so will result in many unresolved issues. Therefore, companies often need to be able to prove a toxic work environment exists in order to know what steps to take.

- Wellbeing is the Future
Remote working has shifted the priorities of HR leaders towards employee well-being and mental health. In this issue, we focus on nurturing employee welfare and its importance to developing workplace resilience.

- Crank Up the Volume?
Many argue listening to music while working only serves as a timewasting distraction, while others say that it helps people focus on the task at hand. Actually, researchers have found some measure of truth on both sides of the argument.

- Putting Focus Back on People
The global outbreak certainly accelerated employee demands for HR to meet the physical and mental needs of employees. It also served to lend urgency to the view that some core human element has been lost in the flood of rapid technological advancement.

- Battling Workplace Procrastination
There is no real solution to tackling procrastination en masse, but there are a number of anti-procrastination techniques that can help to lessen the frequency.
