Keynote Address: Human-Centred Transformation – The Energy and Skills for Change

Statistics show that few organizations excel at change, with the pace of change driving record incidences of burnout and impact mental health at an unprecedented scale. With transformation budgets often significant and strategically important, your organization can not afford to get this wrong.

Using design thinking methods, ex-Head of Employee Experience at Telstra and Founder of Energx, Sean Hall has found that at a people level, the root cause of this is not people’s attitudes to change but simply that most people are energy depleted.

Companies selling products recognize a data-led personalised approach is of mutual benefit for themselves and their customers. As a consumer, we all expect personalised experience from brands. However, this philosophy is yet to be widely adopted in our workplaces.  Personalisation in the workplace ensures precious resources such as time and money align to the right employee motivation and improves the employee experience.

The best way to personalize the employee experience is through:

• Analytics to understand market, workplace culture and employee needs
• Tools and technology
• Career pathways and continuous learning
• Reward and recognition
• Networked relationship culture
