People are increasingly consuming information in shorter, faster and more digestible formats, changing how they engage with long emails, meetings and detailed reports.

For leaders and managers, this raises an important question: how do we communicate effectively in a world where sustained attention is harder to hold?

The same principle applies to leadership. Understanding where pressure sits, how teams respond to it and when systems are reaching their limits can help build more resilient organisations.

The words we use at work matter.

Although there's no confirmed implementation date yet, organisations with 250 or more employees are being encouraged to prepare by reviewing their HR data, payroll systems and reporting processes.

Getting ahead now could make future compliance much simpler.
