Understanding Weak Signals in the Workplace

Weak signals represent early indicators of potential changes in the workplace, contrasting with established trends like AI and hybrid working. These signals are often subtle cues that suggest shifts are on the horizon, such as changes in diversity and inclusion practices within companies. For instance, recent decisions by major firms like Meta and Amazon to alter their DEI initiatives serve as indicators that something broader may be unfolding in corporate culture. Tracking these signals allows organizations to anticipate significant transformations before they become apparent.
