There is a perfect storm of workplace issues, from the need for productivity to the age of AI, that are driving worker burnout, presenteeism, and a range of other health issues. Against this backdrop, employers and HR teams must act swiftly to improve cultural health and avoid looming, unsustainable drop-offs in worker output, satisfaction, and happiness.
In this episode of The HR Leader Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with The Culture Institute of Australia chief executive Karl Treacher, who is also the author of Built to Burn, to discuss whether workers' holistic health has ever been worse in Australia, why we are approaching a point of no return, how cognisant business leaders are about such issues, how we got to this point, the scourge of increased productivity on workers' wellness, the role AI is playing in accelerating such issues, what employers must do about it, the role of HR, and solutions that can and should be implemented.
