Microsoft: Top Trends for Leaders 2022 - End Productivity Paranoia {Part 1 of 3 - Ep.66}
You have tuned into a unique 3-part series on workplace trends where I sit down with seasoned leader at Microsoft Asia, Rosalind Quek, General Manager for Modern Work to discuss the recent Microsoft 2022 Work Trend Index.
Microsoft surveyed 20,000 people in 11 countries globally and analysed trillions of Microsoft 365 productivity signals, along with LinkedIn labour trends and Glint People Science findings.
In this 3-part series, Rosalind shares 3 urgent pivots for leaders to drive alignment and empower people for the new ways we work:
Trend #1: End Productivity Paranoia
Trend #2: Embrace the fact that people come in for each other
Trend #3: Re-recruit your employees with reskilling
In this episode, we dive deeper into the trend of "productivity paranoia" and what this means for leaders today.
