However, in the past eighteen months, the pendulum has swung. Sustainable investment funds - in part due to surging energy prices – underperformed, and sustainability became an unlikely political football.

In the Western part of the world, we dedicate most of our time on Earth to work, hoping that the more successful we are in the office, the happier we will feel.

The leadership challenges that arrived with 2022 were profound, highlighting several trends and bringing with it several vital lessons.

Customers, employees and shareholders are calling out leaders and organisations to serve something greater […]
2022 was a unique year for business in many ways, with continuing uncertainty that makes 2023 difficult to predict. However, with factors such as rising energy costs and the cost-of-living crisis looking as if they are here to stay, it is important to consider a wide range of elements within the business landscape as we head further into the year.
As we enter 2023, the importance of employee well-being and the ‘human touch’ in the workplace is expected to continue to grow in significance. With a changing economy and shifting workforce expectations, HR departments must proactively address various challenges and opportunities. From managing employee well-being to investing in learning and development, HR will be crucial in attracting and retaining top talent.
Meetings are here to stay, whether we want to agree with the term or not, each year we’re spending more and more of our working day attending meetings. What’s even worse is how unproductive these meetings tend to be.
