As more digital tools enter the workplace, organizations should pay particular attention to the actual, not promised, productivity within their workforce. According to PwC’s Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey 2022, one of the biggest challenges they identified is the need to improve what is often called the “employee experience.”

In your mind, when is an employee’s engagement level at the highest?

Companies are quite adept at managing how they communicate their messages outside the company and towards their target customers. They have entire departments and teams of experts that strategize an external communications strategy and implement this through a well-thought-out communications plan.

When we talk about it, we talk about humans — how we work, with whom we work, and yes - also where we work.
The Future Of Work is human and must be humane.
It is more about people than location!
Now is the time to take a fresh look at the employer/employee relationship and the fitting tool to strengthen that relationship.
