Hybrid work has erased the old “on/off” switch, making work-life boundaries fuzzy and draining focus, energy and long-term engagement. Organizations can prevent burnout by setting clear communication norms and providing real work-life support, like concierge services, that reduce mental load so people can truly switch off.
An employee experience strategy goes beyond engagement programmes — it's about designing every touchpoint to support how people actually work and live. Get it right, and you'll see measurable gains in retention, productivity, and organisational resilience.
