A New Perspective: Lifting Productivity Without Burning Out Our People
Brought to you in partnership with Cuppa
The CEO Institute members and guests are invited
Join us for a timely pre-event conversation ahead of Connect: Unlocking Productivity, exploring how leaders can lift performance without burning out their people.
Productivity is one of the defining leadership challenges facing Australian organisations.
Growth is harder to unlock, employee engagement remains under pressure, burnout is rising, and leaders are being asked to deliver more with fewer resources. At the same time, AI is rapidly changing how work gets done.
Ahead of Connect: Unlocking Productivity, The CEO Institute members are invited to join this special pre-event conversation with leading voices across workplace engagement, wellbeing, workforce transformation and AI-enabled performance.
This session will help set the scene for the upcoming Connect discussion and give members a practical, evidence-led perspective on how organisations can improve productivity in a more sustainable way.
What the session will explore
The panel will discuss:
- What 'new' data is saying around the challenges we are facing but also the opportunity we have
- Why traditional productivity strategies often fail
- The connection between employee wellbeing and organisational performance
- How AI can remove friction and create capacity for higher-value work
- The future of workforce design and sustainable performance
- Practical ways leaders can improve engagement, productivity and business outcomes
