The plan of the British multinational on work policies appears to be the most driven among its competitors and is aimed at attracting an increasing number of talents. It still needs to be tested on a long term how to combine the positive aspects of smart working, including increased productivity and greater personal well-being for a large proportion of workers, with a high level of employee engagement. In fact, such a profound change in individual habits implies the need to devise a new approach to maintaining the interaction between people and the firm.
1. Boost employee engagement, which is the measure of an employee's involvement with the organization. When an employee feels involved in the collective effort to achieve the company's objectives and shares its values, he or she is more productive.

Through artificial intelligence, HR is able to envy those skills and assign each employee the most suitable role, within a complex mechanism. In addition, thanks to digital systems and the support of algorithms, it is possible to create a web space that allows staff, in the office or remotely, to stay connected and up to date with company news.
