A challenge most female employees will face in the course of their career, and many when they're hitting their stride, is one that most employees and employers are unprepared for, a doctor warns.

Using the power that comes with leadership ethically and effectively is a make-or-break competency, and one that's largely overlooked, according to an expert coach.

The proportion of employees who intend to stay with their employer has dropped to its lowest point in three years. This is partly due to external factors, but there are three specific levers HR can pull, an advisor says.

AI-powered agents that act without prompts are already being integrated into workflows, and it won't be long before managers are overseeing hybrid teams made up of both human and digital workers, according to a chief AI officer.

As the workforce continues to undergo rapid, dynamic, non-linear and complex change, more organisations are turning to skills audits and talent mapping to avoid falling too far behind, a workplace culture specialist says.

A disclosure of mental health issues shouldn't necessarily stop a manager from holding an underperforming employee to account, but the approach they take might need to change, a conflict specialist says.

Organisations focus too much on their top-performing employees, which can overload them with work while robbing teammates of an opportunity to shine, a performance specialist says.

It's well known that being socialised to "play nice" from childhood doesn't always serve women well at work, but women who are too aggressive are also holding back gender parity, a workplace psychologist warns.

Some resistance to using artificial intelligence in "the most human of business functions" is understandable, but people and culture teams have far more to gain than lose from it, according to an experienced HR executive.

Crafting a benefits package that appeals to employees across multiple generations requires balancing "conflicting needs", but an HR leader says it's been key to helping her organisation meet its goals.
