The outbreak of Covid-19 has forced organizations to change the way they work and interact. It has unleashed changes in how and where we work – changes that would probably have happened anyway, just on a longer time line. It has transformed not only the organization of workplaces and workforces but also the very foundations of the employee-employer relationship.
Technological advances and changes in economies and societies are also having a major impact on the nature of work. Work in this new age is digital, agile, shared, data-driven and diverse. It is more global, more connected, more mobile and more skills-driven than ever before. But business leaders bear an important responsibility: to support the transition towards better and more human-centric work, workplaces and workforces.
Below we offer a range of useful resources for understanding the core drivers of future work trends in a more sustainable post-Covid world.
