The world of work as we know it is in a state of flux - automation, robotics and other digital innovations are altering the fundamental nature of work. These developments bring the promise of higher productivity, safety, convenience and overall increased efficiencies, but also raise questions about the larger impact of technology on jobs, skills, recruiting and dozens of other workplace fundamentals. Workers are challenging the conventional ideas of work and driving companies to adapt how they’re identifying and recruiting talent. Understanding these shifts will help business leaders, employees and policy makers prepare as best they can for what the future holds.
Discussion topics include:
Trends driving the changing nature of work
