Stay connected.

 While walking in nature earlier, I overheard two women chatting.

One of them said, 

“I regret resigning from my company a few months ago. The salary was high, the work was easy, and the benefits were great.”

“You know why I left, right? Because of my workmates.” She continued.

That brought me back to my days as an employee in HSBC.

Though my work was not in line with my passion, I liked my workmates and my direct leaders—and even our department heads and CEOs. I saw the company as a great place to work in because of the people. So I stayed there for 9 years and I did my best to become the kind of employee I would want to hire if I were an employer. It was the only company I worked for as an employee before I eventually ventured into book writing and speaking full-time. 

People stay because of people.

People leave because of people.

In today’s fast-changing world—especially with the rise of AI—it’s more important than ever to double down on human connection.

When employees feel connected, they stay.
