A Whole New World of Work Needs a Whole New Toolkit

‘‘What role will AI play in our organisation and what skills will we need going forward?’’

Questions most leaders are asking themselves today.

But what about the human elements? How much focus is given to looking at how to best use the human brain capital in an organisation? 

We’ve consolidated a few ideas and concepts into a Sustainable Human Talent Framework to help leaders strategically assess, structure and plan the human elements of their AI transformational journey.

Uncovering the Role of HR in ESG, a BDO UK and flow²thrive Partnership

 
 

BDO and flow²thrive have joined forces to explore the critical role of HR in ESG initiatives. We believe HR leaders are pivotal in driving these initiatives by championing diversity, inclusion, and human sustainability. However, their role often seems overlooked.

We invite you to participate in our short poll and join our upcoming webinar to explore how HR can lead the charge in embedding ESG principles into business strategies.

The poll is quick and easy, four straightforward questions:

1. Where are you in your ESG journey?

2. Who is responsible for ESG reporting?

3. How is HR involved in ESG related work?

4. How do you collect people-related data?

Human Sustainability Data

 
 

Do you know your KWIs and CPIs? New concepts, but critical for leaders to know and understand going forward.

We've spent the past month writing reports for clients using our flow2thrive Human Sustainability Index, and a few things stand out:

1. Concerns about job security and financial stability are rising
2. Employee apathy is increasing, a shift from stress to disengagement

Persistent challenges include:

  • Poor meeting habits: excessive meetings, non-attendance, last-minute rescheduling

  • Environmental distractions: frequent chat messages, office/home noise, interruptions

  • Virtual meeting challenges: connectivity issues, slow platforms, limited licenses

  • Over & underload: constantly active brains combined with sedentary workstyles

Factors which lead to

  • Increased physical & mental health risks

  • Brain energy deficit & cognitive overload

  • Individuals performing below their potential

Issues critical to address for fostering a more sustainable and productive work environment.
