Channel Chatter: Welcome to the Newsletter
Take a deep dive into how science and technology can be utilized for the benefit of people at the workplace. Unconventional? I know.
Dear readers,
I am pleased to welcome you to my newsletter, The Channel. I named it so as I hope to take you on an enlightening journey and help you gain insights into how technology and science can be employed for the benefit of the workforce, which is, and we can all agree, one of the last concerns of management.
Firstly, however, a little bit about yours truly. I am Saloni Arora. I have about two years of experience working in the HR domain. I am a published research author and hold two master’s degrees in the domains of organizational psychology and human resource development and management. I have worked with a global workforce on a variety of projects and am passionate about how technology and people align.
Aside from HR, I have worked as an Impact Analyst, examining the effects of corporates on the environment and society, and as a public speaking and creative writing trainer. To know more, feel free to check out my LinkedIn profile.
Now, moving on to the purpose of this newsletter.
It is always the customers that are at the forefront of all managerial decisions, and I hope to take a bit of that spotlight and shine it on the employees. Research has already demonstrated the various ways in which technology can be leveraged to improve employee experience while reducing corporate costs.
Through this newsletter, I will endeavor to curate the latest research findings on how technology can be incorporated into our workplaces.
As of 2023, 3.5 billion people were employed worldwide; however, out of this significant number, only 15% of employees are engaged at work. It is a point of concern that 85% of people do not experience any flow while performing their work tasks.
The solution, however, is out there. We just choose not to see it. What is more, the solution is not just for the benefit of the employees but for the employers as well. It is to unveil these solutions that are the motto of The Channel.
As the majority of adults are involved in the corporate world, I feel certain that all of you who read my newsletter would find something of value, and I, on my part, will do my best to deliver it to you in the best packaging possible.
On my Substack, I will regularly publish highly detailed and entirely research-backed guides on how the latest pieces of technology (the Metaverse, for example, which may or may not be the topic of my first post) are impacting (or will impact) the people function of organizations (learning and development, for instance). I will make the guides as informative as possible while trying not to let them bog down the post.
Hence, without much further ado, welcome to The Channel. I hope you have a great time here!
The first post will be up soon. Till then, kindly spread the word to those who will find The Channel interesting.
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
With love,
