Recommended Action Steps

Here are a few tips to get you started:

Audit your technology stack

Is your current HR system flexible enough to keep up with constant change? If not, it might be time for an upgrade.

Embrace data-driven decision making

Start leveraging your people data to make smarter, more strategic choices.

Reassess performance management

Consider moving to more frequent, informal check-ins instead of annual reviews.

Focus on building an inclusive culture

With teams globally dispersed, it's more important than ever to foster a sense of belonging.

Balance technology and human touch

Use automation for routine tasks, but don't forget the importance of human connection.
