The article explains why valuable employee benefits and powerful AI tools often go unused. The main barrier isn’t understanding their value—it’s the human cost of starting: effort, uncertainty, habit and fear of getting things wrong. This “hidden wallet” of attention and confidence is limited. The author argues that organisations should focus less on better communication and more on reducing friction, simplifying processes and improving defaults, because making action easier is often more effective than explaining benefits again.
