“Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long.”

~ Michael Gungor

Sure, the future of work is and will always be dependent on harnessing technology, and finding better ways to get things done, but to my mind, the human element will always be at the center of doing great work. It’s why, when thinking about how to future-proof yourself and your teams, energy matters.

If you find yourself navigating busy schedules, and leaning into your apps, devices and technology in the name of heightened productivity, you’ll likely also notice how energy-draining that can be. We’re only human after all.

So, in this short video (90 second watch) I share an important reminder about an element of future-proofing that can’t be ignored.

Watch the video below, or read the transcript that follows, and let me know if you agree.

If you’re focused on success, whether that is technology, innovation, whatever is driving your business, you’re still going to need great people to implement your strategies. If they’re burnt out, if they’re stressed, if they’re not on the job because they’ve taken time off, that’s not going to help drive your success in the future.

Everybody’s talking about the future of work and managing technology and being on the cutting edge. But to me, the future of work needs energy. We need to be able to future proof our employees and teams so they’re still there five years from now, 10 years from now. One of the biggest challenges that organizations face is attrition. People are moving elsewhere. Why is that? Well, they’re not feeling appreciated. They don’t feel like they’ve got boundaries around their work-life balance. They don’t feel like that they’re being seen and heard or appreciated on the job. And a lot of times people want to have opportunities to take care of themselves and their health and their families in the workday. Our world of work has changed. And so future proofing means we need to look at different ways of future proofing productivity and success and health and happiness of our teams.

I know that technology is the wave of the future, but we’re still going to need people in our seats, at our desks to get work done.
