Productivity and performance are under pressure. Many organisations are working harder but getting less back. Engagement is slipping, people feel disconnected, turnover is high, and constant change is creating friction rather than progress. 

Leaders are also flying blind more often than they realise. Decisions are being made without clear, timely visibility into how people are actually experiencing the work, the systems, and the change around them. 

This session focuses on what is really dragging on productivity and performance in 2026, and what practical steps organisations can take to remove them. We’ll explore how better visibility, regular employee voice, and shared ownership for improvement can lift output, focus, and momentum across teams.
