Women’s safety and its issues are discussed and debated all around the globe. Still every year the number of reports on sexual harassment is increasing at an alarming rate. Men and boys, we show our manhood through the way we treat our women. Our colleagues, our wives, our sisters, our mothers. — Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In the past decade, women have progressively earned a higher standard in the workplace.

The 50-person team was in charge of developing software automation systems used by manufacturers all around the world. They were well suited to tackle the challenges they were facing, and fully embraced the new incremental approach and the necessary changes in behavior.

“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.” - Peter Drucker The reason why we measure our own performance stems from the believe that there is room for improvement. Knowing that you are “doing something” is not enough. Instead, you need to know what you are “doing wrong” and what you are “doing right”. If it’s wrong, stop. If it’s right, continue.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

October is over and so is World Mental Health Day. In case you missed it, it’s celebrated around the world on 10th October every year. But don’t worry. It’s mental health and it’s not confined to a single day or a specific month. You can and ought to talk about it always and as much as possible. But what about mental health in the workplace? When you ask someone about their health, isn’t it true that you’re thinking just about their physical health?

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

AI has the power to help, but the key is implementing it in a way that enhances, rather than replaces, human connection.

Effective Strategy Execution Matters. What good is a new strategic direction without effective strategy execution? The best growth plans, unless implemented, are worth very little. You may have carefully plotted your path to the top; but if you don’t follow through, anchor point-by-anchor point and step-by-step, you’ll never reach your goal. Why Strategies Stall.
