With rising costs and economic pressures in 2025, businesses must rethink how they maintain employee productivity. Traditional approaches won’t suffice—HR must drive performance by addressing hidden productivity drains like presenteeism and disengagement. Research shows that organisations prioritising trust, recognition, and engagement outperform competitors. By fostering strong leadership, flexible goal-setting, and a culture of appreciation, HR can turn economic challenges into opportunities for resilience and growth.

AI is transforming workplaces, but without employee involvement, it risks increasing inequality rather than enhancing work. Research shows that when employees are part of AI decision-making, technology is more likely to augment their roles instead of replacing them. HR must bridge the gap between AI adoption and workforce needs, using participatory design to ensure employees feel empowered, engaged, and supported through technological change.
