HR leaders have often found themselves torn between business goals and human impact. In 2023, the pressure gets more fierce with the emergence of generative AI, fear of global recession, and rapidly shifting needs of talent. Business models and ways of working are getting challenged every day. Does this new landscape breed emotional exhaustion, as HR leaders become burdened with navigating a precarious line between business goals and human impact? Prioritising the mental well-being of HR leaders is essential as they shape the future of work. But how? Let’s explore.

Employers urging a return to the office could face a workplace exodus, as employees demand greater flexibility and work-life balance. The burning question for leaders is whether they can afford to resist this call for change. The consequences are dire: losing top talent, plummeting employee morale, and hampered productivity. Even if amidst the global market slowdown, employees continue to stay for job security, the lack of engagement and compromised productivity could create a ripple effect, ultimately impacting overall business results. How can you stop your business from going through a downward spiral? How critical is ‘return to office’ over productivity and employees’ well-being?
