Tech vs Touch: The great balancing act

In a world where everything has become remote, touchless, automated and sanitised, it is increasingly apparent that humans crave personal connection more than they desire seamless perfection.

After all, how do you calculate values like leadership, education, creativity, and past work experience? But this is exactly what sets companies apart. Seamless automation and flawless technology have become a given for any successful company – a non-negotiable asset. However, what gives corporations the edge is their human capital.
