VALUES-DRIVEN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT WILL BECOME EVEN MORE IMPORTANT – FORCING TIME-POOR MANAGERS TO PAUSE AND CONSIDER THE DRIVERS BEHIND BEHAVIOURS VS JUST THE BEHAVIOUR ITSELF

As the workspace becomes increasingly digital, what are the key challenges when it comes to driving productivity among your employees?

Communication flow has always been challenging – those conversations when everyone gets together at the office, or as you walk past someone’s desk … sometimes these serendipitous moments can drive immense collaboration and innovation. But as our office has shifted to Slack, Zoom, Teams and email, there is real risk of the communication burden growing exponentially.
