1. The Time for Remote Employee Engagement is Now

In many ways COVID-19 forced employee mental health to the forefront, as Tiger mentioned, and fortunately for all employees it will remain a focus area moving forward. Now is the time to start investigating solutions to remote employee engagement, because even though the pandemic will end the need for remote engagement will still exist because of a hybridized work environment.
2. Adapt to a Hybrid Workforce for Success
Tiger highlighted how the overwhelmingly positive response to and success of work from home will ensure that most organizations worldwide will continue to implement a distributed workforce strategy. That means you have to be ready to hit the ground running as offices open, not just to ensure safety for physically present employees but building policies and best practices thinking around how to effectively manage a hybridized workforce.

3. Embrace AI as an Ally, Not an Adversary
Tiger offered a variety of prescient points about the strength of Amber in recognizing and detecting patterns of unhealthy thinking in employees that has spurred Genpact to hire counselors and create open hotlines for employee concerns. The analytical techniques implemented by machine learning can seem intimidating, but as Tiger said technology like AI is just another tool to help humans do their jobs better. Amber has given the HR Team at Genpact valuable insights that have helped them change the lives of their employees, not replaced HR’s role.
