#Conscientiousness (the Big5 personality trait that better predicts career success) is in sustained decline, especially among young adults, just when we need it most.
The good news: personality is malleable. The irony: rebuilding it will take… a lot of conscientiousness.

As shown in these two charts by Palle Broe, we are in an era of #AI startups with tiny teams, massive revenues and valuations.
Maybe the challenge isn’t to justify #HR — but to radically redesign its value for organizations..
Are we ready for that conversation?

Growing integration of AI into #HR processes can support or undermine employee wellbeing, depending on how they are perceived. This #AI - #EmployeeWellbeing Interaction Framework shows how implementation of AI in HR influences employee perceptions, behaviors, and outcomes.

A study of 50K+ software engineers reveals 9.5% are 'ghost workers,' doing almost nothing on workdays. This is highest in #RemoteWork setups (14% vs. 9% hybrid, 6% in-office). Yet, top performers also gravitate toward remote roles. A paradox of #productivity or a new norm?

Interesting the comparison of US data with this chart that compares the evolution of workforce participation rates in Spain between 2019Q3 and 2024Q3. Largest increase is for women 45-54, followed by people 55+, while largest declines correspond to foreign nationals..
