The organisational cost of constant busyness

In a fast-changing professional, technological, and economic landscape, it can be easy for business leaders and the workforce to get swept up and operate at a breakneck pace. For HR, this requires supporting leadership and employees in navigating the pace of change, such that all stakeholders can manage in accordance with personal and professional needs.

In this episode of The HR Leader Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with leadership coach, consultant and facilitator Chris Power about how and why there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight to busyness, the flow-on consequences from such a state of being, how many leaders have gotten to a point whereby being busy feels like a good thing, the role of AI, what HR needs to ask of itself to better support the business, and how HR can meaningfully create time to enact needed practical steps.
