As every executive knows, organisations are using the opportunity COVID-19 has brought to advance their business but in particular, their employee experience. In part, this is being driven by the need to adopt new technologies to support remote working but also by the demands employees are placing on those who employ them.

According to the World Economic Forum, organisations will need to reshape their people strategies if they are to survive the 'Fourth (Industrial) Revolution'.
Although experts describe the Fourth Revolution as a 'human' revolution, the challenges companies face will be addressed using digital technologies; albeit they will need to be informed by human- centred science as opposed to antiquated practices that still dominate the market.
Irrespective of history, if you are to be an employer of choice in the new world, it is vital you position this challenge in your business as an opportunity to realise long-term competitive advantage as opposed to a temporary issue you have to address.
To this end, we hope you find this document useful, however, it won't take you forward unless you make a decision to act on it.
