If you work in an office, company news lands in your inbox or Slack. You scroll through it with your morning coffee, skim what matters, ignore what doesn’t. But if you work in a warehouse, on a hospital floor, or in a manufacturing plant, staying informed takes more effort. By the time an announcement filters down through supervisors or gets posted on a bulletin board, it’s already old.

The old ways of intrusive monitoring have long gone with the introduction of GDPR. It sets strict standards for how employee data is collected, stored, and used. So, choosing a tracking software blindly can burn your business empire to the core. The good news is that some monitoring tools are just built differently, with ensuring compliance as the number one priority.

From the beginning of an employee's journey, we provide them with access to time tracking software. The solution gives us access to track employee activity, like how many mouse clicks there are, and how actively they are logged in. But one thing that really got me is, our employees were not able to deliver that productive outcome anymore. Even after having the most active time on their screen. Their creativity was missing, even though they were struggling to meet deadlines.

These days, companies everywhere are asking: how can I get more teams using AI? And what should I do besides just saying “use AI” or forcing everyone to take yet another training?

This was the guiding thought behind our AI Product Builders week.

As hybrid work becomes the norm, tracking workplace attendance has become increasingly complex. There are several important factors that influence the accuracy and significance of workplace attendance metrics, including employee satisfaction, work-life balance, and incidental costs.

At The Matrix Conference 2025, I had the opportunity to present how we’re building large-scale, multi-tenancy hosting for TI-Messenger - the standard for secure communications across the German healthcare system.

Most agencies and consultancies hit the same wall as they grow: Projects keep selling, but profits don’t. You win work by being flexible and “tailored,” but that flexibility comes at a cost—proposals balloon, delivery gets messy, and margins quietly disappear. Suddenly, your team’s creativity is buried under admin, scope creep, and endless firefighting. That’s the pattern Brian Kessman has spent the last decade helping firms break.

Your products or services are as good as old books eating dust in the storeroom unless you market them right. The first step to marketing your products and services to the right consumer base is understanding the marketing environment around your industry.

As more companies embrace flexible work arrangements, it’s critical to effectively measure and optimize remote work productivity. In this guide, we’ll equip you with the tools and strategies you need to accurately gauge and improve the performance of remote employees.

All jobs have their good days and bad days. But I challenge you to name another function when you can be a hero one minute, and the villain the next. That’s the role of a chief human resource officer. HR is all about people. They’re not only our most valuable asset — they’re the most valuable investors of their talents, energy, and commitment.
