Engagement just hit a 15-year low: 29% (Gallup).
Only 37% of employees feel someone at work cares about them. So we did something a little different this week: a full year of recognition, planned month by month. Healthcare first.

Which industry should be next?

The organization you want to become starts with a culture where people can do their best work and thrive, at work and in life.

The Global Wellness Institute's new Workplace Wellbeing Framework names six enablers that help build that culture and show where to begin.

1️⃣ Shared understanding: Use a common language for how workload, relationships, and psychological safety affect people's wellbeing. For example, consider how different it would feel if a team agreed on what "urgent" really means.
2️⃣ Leadership and manager capability: Train managers to notice when a team member is overworking, so they can adjust unsustainable workloads and expectations. Or encourage leaders to protect recovery time after a demanding project.
3️⃣ Systems, access and infrastructure: Provide support people can find easily and use, from onboarding onward. For a new hire, that could mean learning in their first week how to reach confidential support anytime.
4️⃣ Measurement, feedback and evaluation: Use listening mechanisms to ask about workload, fairness, trust, and whether work feels manageable.
5️⃣ Alignment with mission and strategy: Plan next year's goals with team capacity on the table.
6️⃣ Governance and accountability: Prioritize workplace wellbeing as a business metric. For example, track progress against KPIs and have a senior leader own a wellbeing goal and report on it as they would any other priority.

The graph shows specific actions and tools leaders can use to begin this transformational journey toward a healthier workplace.

One way is making support accessible anytime, and you can start right away.

32,400 employees. Fewer than five payroll specialists. More than 15 applications.
At @PostNL, processing payroll used to take five days every month. Today, it takes four hours.

The Dutch postal service consolidated payroll onto a single cloud platform and introduced an AI assistant that helps employees understand their pay.

Consider what happens when an organization needs to change schedules, move employees into new roles, or adjust its workforce.

Every change needs accurate information, approvals, and updates across systems. And every additional manual handoff creates more work for HR.

How could AI help organizations manage that complexity?

On November 18, join Dr. Caitlynn Sendra, Jeff Glauber, and Edward Piggott from SAP SuccessFactors for the webinar “Autonomous HCM: Delivering the Future of Work with Agentic AI”.

We'll explore:
🔹 The future of HR: Insights from SAP's 2027 Future of Work report and predictions about how HR's role may evolve.
🔹 Autonomous HCM: What connected workflows, AI assistants, and agents could mean for organizations.
🔹 The technology in action: A live demonstration of Joule Assistants and Joule Agents.

A team staffed for a good week will burn out in a normal one.

Capacity gets planned around everyone showing up every day, with nobody out sick and no open role sitting unfilled for four months. A normal month happens anyway. 🪑 The work from the empty chair gets split among whoever is left, and the split lands hardest on the people who never say no.

Ask them how it’s going, and the answer is “fine, just busy,” because on paper that’s exactly what they are.

The people who build these plans are working inside budgets with very little room, and slack on a team looks like waste on a utilization report. It’s usually the first thing a planning meeting trims.

👇 Is a team running at full capacity a success or a warning sign where you work? And if you ever told a manager the truth about it, what finally got you to say it?

Repost it if you’ve ever been the one covering the empty chair.

“Since you’re already in that spreadsheet, could you also...”

Most people say yes. It takes four minutes and feels like being trusted.

📅 Then a recurring invite shows up with their name on it, and the favor becomes a Tuesday ritual nobody remembers agreeing to. The manager gets a task handled, and the person who said yes gets a thank-you on Slack. Both felt fine in the moment, so nothing ever prompted anyone to look at the invite again.

When they finally decline one, everyone who benefited from the old arrangement experiences it as a change in attitude.

Ask someone carrying a few of those which one they would drop first. The answer comes fast, because they have been hoping someone would ask.

👇 Does a favor ever expire where you work? Or does saying yes once mean saying yes for good? Tell us about the first one that never went away.

Send this to the person who keeps getting the “since you’re already in there” messages.

Employees who feel stuck have usually already realized the next step isn’t coming. They spend months waiting for someone to confirm it.

💭 Managers who stay silent have reasons worth taking seriously. Telling a strong performer there is no promotion in sight can speed up their exit, and a team with nobody ready to step in has good cause to be careful. Sometimes the silence protects the colleagues who would absorb the loss.

The cost lands somewhere else. Pay that stopped moving and ideas that went nowhere keep piling up while the employee still assumes their effort is building toward something. Meanwhile, the time they could have used to plan a move goes by unmentioned.

⚖️ Here is a question with no comfortable answer. If your best performer had no next step available for two years, and you knew that telling them could mean losing them next month, would you say it?

Tell us where you land in the comments. Repost it if you have been on either side of that conversation.

Payroll can run absolutely perfectly for two years without a single thank-you email within the hour.

The engineer whose servers have never gone down has the same issue. Their best year is exactly the same on paper as a year in which nothing at all happened.

Most recognition programming? Who should?

Teams notice which of the two gets applauded and organize their effort accordingly. A thank-you for the invisible kind has to be a decision someone makes, since no dashboard will ever prompt it.

👇 Who on your team keeps the world from coming to an end? Tag them and let them know what didn't happen this year thanks to them.

Send this to whoever runs payroll at your company.

Every CHRO gets asked for a people strategy. This bootcamp helps you build one that's derived from the business, priced line by line, and stress-tested by a CFO whose only job is to find the assumption that breaks.

This is what you'll do over three live days:

🏭 Build two synthetic companies with market research and financials, plus an Adversarial Board that challenges every claim you make
🧭 Derive your people strategy directly from the business strategy, down to a People Strategy on a Page and the skills architecture behind it
💰 Build the workforce plan and people cost model, survive the CFO stress test, and defend your Board Package live

Important Note: You'll never expose your own company's data. When the bootcamp ends, you take the method and your Skill library and run them on your own organization.

We designed this bottcamp for CHROs, CPOs, VPs of HR, and anyone who owns the people function.

Last week, we explored Schein's three levels of organizational culture. His first level (artifacts) includes the structures anyone can observe. The organizational chart is one of them, and its shape tells you a lot.

Who makes decisions. Who coaches whom
And how people grow from their first job into leadership.

🔺The most common shape is still a pyramid: many entry-level roles, fewer managers, a small leadership team. Each level learns from the one above it.

However, the data shows that two pressures could change that shape:

⏳ The Hourglass Organization. When the middle layer thins, the managers who remain lead more people while still doing their own work. Gallup found that 97% of U.S. managers carry individual contributor responsibilities, spending a median of 40% of their time on them, and managers above that threshold become less engaged as their teams grow. AI could take over part of that workload, but only if the time saved goes into coaching instead of into even bigger teams.

🔷 The Diamond Organization. Having a thinner base means fewer people get the first jobs where they learn the work, because AI absorbs many of the tasks junior employees used to learn from. AI augmentation offers another path, but expecting people to arrive knowing every AI tool is unrealistic. Tools and models change every few months! A good bet is to hire for durable skills like critical thinking, adaptability, and continuous learning, then build the rest through onboarding, learning in the flow of work, and partnerships with universities.

PwC predicts both shapes are possible in the near future. In fact, some organizations may feel both pressures at once. These are organizational design choices, and HR must be where they get made.

👉 So, is your organizational chart changing shape? Let us know which pressure you're seeing in the comments.

Improving workforce health and wellbeing could unlock up to $11.7 trillion in economic value, according to McKinsey Health Institute. To capture it, organizations should transform how they lead, design work, and deliver on their mission.

This might sound contradictory, but it’s backed by research: Want a more agile workforce? Stop destabilizing it.

The Agility Project, led by Elaine Pulakos, PhD, studied 325 organizations to define workforce agility and understand what sets high performers apart during change.

Among the 114 publicly traded companies with financial data, those high on proactive and reactive agility showed 150% higher on invested capital and 500% higher return on equity.

The research also identified seven durable human skills that help people adapt, solve problems, keep learning, and recover from setbacks.

So how do leaders and teams create the conditions for those skills to turn into performance?

Join Elaine Pulakos, PhD, CEO of PDRI by @pearson, in The Agility Advantage, an on-demand webinar on the research, the seven skills, and the leadership and team practices behind high performance.
