As AI, hybrid models, and new management systems redefine the world of work, organisations face a pivotal challenge: How do we ensure that work truly fits the people doing it?

Key Takeaways: • Psychological "fit" as a foundation for future-ready work • Designing AI-enabled roles that elevate human strengths • Supporting autonomy, connection, and well-being in hybrid models • Moving beyond ratings: performance systems built around growth • Understanding and reducing friction between people and process • Why designing for human needs prevents resistance and failure • A new blueprint for building workplaces that work for people
