Future of Work
AI
People First IC
As AI takes over routine tasks, the role of People Teams is transforming. No longer just policy enforcers or process managers, people professionals are becoming designers of meaningful employee experiences - experiences that are emotionally resonant, human-centred, and constantly evolving.

That shift demands a new set of skills capabilities. And it raises an important question:
Do you have the skills and methods to thrive in the future of work?
Introducing the EX readiness check
Inspired by our Future of Work white paper, the EX Readiness Check assesses your strengths across two critical dimensions:

1. Human-centred Skills – Empathy, emotional intelligence, creativity, resilience, and curiosity: the human capabilities AI can’t replicate—and the ones that make experiences truly matter. 

2. Human-centred Methods – Tools like journey mapping, prototyping, ideation, and continuous feedback: practical ways to turn insight into action.

Together, these capabilities form the foundation for designing employee experiences that are personal, adaptive, and memorable—not just efficient.
Why this matters now
Most organisations say they want to create “consumer-grade” employee experiences. But few have the right combination of people-first mindset and design-led methods to deliver them.

This tool helps you take stock:

  • Are you leading with empathy, insight, and creativity?
  • Do you have the tools to design, experiment and iterate intentionally?
  • Where are you today—and where could you go next?


This isn’t a test. It’s a starting point—for reflection, for team conversations, and for deeper development.
What's next?
Once you’ve got your results, we’ll guide you to curated resources based on where you are today—whether that’s:

  • Building foundational human-centred skills
  • Learning how to map key moments and journeys
  • Experimenting with employee-led prototyping
  • Or embedding EX thinking into every corner of your organisation


Because the future of work isn’t something we wait for. It’s something we design—together.
