How can leaders design for the future of the workplace?

Leaders can design for the future of the workplace by treating employee experience as a core performance system, rather than a set of initiatives. Reducing friction and personalizing experiences will be non-negotiable, as will continuous listening – rather than annual engagement surveys.
