When employees thrive, businesses thrive and so do the societies in which they operate, write the authors of a new article from McKinsey & Company.
When companies invest in employee health and well-being they report increased productivity, reduced absenteeism and better talent attraction and retention.
Research from the McKinsey Health Institute has identified 23 drivers of health , including six key factors that employers should support their workers with.
From encouraging social interaction to fostering better sleeping habits, here's how employers can improve employee health and, at the same time, create trillions of dollars of economic value around the world.

This skills-first approach should open up more senior roles to women, as their skills, not their experience, will be the defining factor in the hiring decision.

3. Will #AI help or hinder our #creative expression?
Since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, generative AI has transformed the world of work.

7 个月AI platforms like ChatGBT is rewarding, yet a powerful tool when time factor or efficiency is of concern in a fast changing world that demand quick response and result. AI can be useful as well as disruptive to development of mental capacity to assess, evaluate and recreate new ideas with information. Theres no doubt about it. But at personal level, one must not discount the essence of doing the hard yards in developing creative thinking. Our mind is actually our nature based thinking and execution machine. If it was not for the mind, there wont be anything like AI or ChatGBT. Today our social lives are a part of an extreme advancement in technoly. Therefore it would be appropriate for anyone today to find a balance between nuturing the mental ability of the mind first than complement that with the power of AI.

7 个月When companies invest in employee health and well-being they report increased productivity, reduced absenteeism and better talent attraction and retention. That is right. However, many companies would not invest in employee health. For the companies, employees are just labor force. If they can bring high profit or benefit to the companies, they are valuable. If they can not bring high profit or benefit to the companies, they will be thrown away. AI is a good thing. ChatGPT helps me a lot in my work, we can improve work efficiency with AI. If we don’t learn and master AI, we may be abandoned in the future.
