😔 Holiday season in many parts of the world is coming to an end, and for some, post-vacation blues can hit hard. But when do post-holiday blues present a bigger, underlying problem? Are you missing the beach and the sun lounger, or is there something deeper at play? Here are five signs you might be craving a new job more than another holiday, by Christopher Dottie MBE. 1️⃣ You went into holiday mode way before you actually left for vacation. 2️⃣ Your holiday made you the happiest and most relaxed you've been in a while. 3️⃣ You avoided talking about work at all costs whilst away. 4️⃣ You were dreading returning to work. 5️⃣ When you returned to work, it felt like you'd never had a holiday at all. Can you relate to any of the above? Post your comments below about how you tackle post-vacation blues, and check out the link in comments for more support.

Really interesting piece from Anjli Raval in the Financial Times yesterday on the accelerating impact of AI on jobs, especially for junior-level white-collar positions. As I shared with Anjli for that piece, while there will be exceptions in specific areas, the rise of AI may constrain the recovery in some junior roles. She also importantly notes that while AI is a factor, it’s important that we consider the wider story. AI is not the sole driver of change here. Geopolitical and economic pressures, years of sluggish growth, and what some are calling the ‘Great Hesitation’, a period marked by uncertainty in hiring and investment decisions, have all contributed to a landscape where entry-level roles are increasingly vulnerable. AI is amplifying these existing pressures. If roles continue to disappear from the workforce, then we need to ask: what does this mean for the future talent pipeline? In sectors already facing skill shortages, failing to bring people in today means we won’t have the talent we need tomorrow. To tackle this, we need to rethink how we develop people, how we build talent pipelines, and how we value the human qualities that AI can’t replicate: creativity, emotional intelligence, and complex judgment. Lean organisations might look good on paper, but resilience, innovation, and long-term success still depend on people. Let’s make sure we’re investing in them. #WeAreHays #AI #FutureOfWork #TalentDevelopment #Leadership #HiringTrends #WorkforceStrategy

In Malaysia, we’re split when it comes to reassessing career goals. 💭 While 37% of professionals check in every few months, another 34% wait until they feel stuck.
