Let’s have a chat about the elephant in every room, on every Zoom call, and in every strategic plan: artificial intelligence. If your feelings about it range between excitement and unease, you’re in very good company.
From language models to workflow automation, AI tools are increasingly integrated into everyday work, promising efficiency and insight. Yet adoption remains uneven, in part because misconceptions abound.
In Bangladesh, promise collides with a different set of frictions. Many Gen Z founders carry more self-awareness than spatial awareness; they can read a room emotionally but still misread how power, process, and patience work in this market.
New research suggests that what really matters for long-term success may not be these job-specific skills at all. Instead, it’s the more flexible, often overlooked abilities – the so-called ‘soft skills’ that help people adapt, grow, and thrive in a rapidly changing workplace.
Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t just changing how we work; it’s reshaping what skills are in demand, which jobs will grow, and how careers will evolve. Whether you are looking for your next role or aiming to stay ahead in your current one, adapting to this shift is no longer optional - it's mandatory.
For years, workplace stress has been considered an unavoidable part of professional life. But according to ADP Research Institute’s 'People at Work 2025' report, that narrative is shifting. While high levels of stress have declined significantly since the pandemic, most workers are still not thriving. Instead, many are stuck in a middle zone of emotional fatigue, low motivation, and limited fulfilment.
A few years ago, the idea of working alongside artificial intelligence (AI) may have sounded like something out of science fiction. Today, it’s a workplace reality. Welcome to the era of AI as your coworker.
Whether in school assignments, office work, professional writing, video production, or casual conversations, AI tools like ChatGPT have noticeably changed people’s vocabulary and stylistic choices by subtly enriching users’ linguistic capacities.
The world of computer science, as saturated as it is, still allures fresh faces by the minute. The usual roadmap is to go through the motions of a degree, choosing a specialisation in the final year, and then opting to conduct thesis work or land an internship. It’s an age-old blueprint that’s been tried and tested.
The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the most defining narratives of our generation. Once the stuff of science fiction, AI has swiftly moved from labs and research papers into everyday life. From enabling virtual assistants to powering financial services and healthcare diagnostics, AI today is not just transforming how we work - it’s redefining what work means.
Bangladesh’s vocational training sector has expanded rapidly in recent years, particularly in information and communications technology (ICT). Thousands of private training centres now operate across the country, offering similar types of courses in areas such as web development, hardware maintenance, and digital marketing. However, the absence of a standardised system of curriculum design, delivery, and assessment has contributed to wide disparities in the quality of training offered.
In a world that prizes innovation and adaptability, one would assume experience is a critical asset. Yet, for many older professionals, particularly those over 50, the job market tells a different story—one where decades of service are quietly disregarded in favour of youth. Age discrimination, or ageism, in the workplace remains a pervasive but often under-acknowledged issue globally, and Bangladesh is no exception.
The marketing world is undergoing a seismic transformation. As generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) matures from a technical novelty into a strategic necessity, marketing professionals are being forced to adapt at a pace unprecedented in recent memory. No longer confined to the realms of data science or IT, AI has become central to the everyday operations of marketing departments, not just enhancing productivity, but fundamentally reshaping the structure, skills, and strategy of marketing teams worldwide.
