Work is undergoing rapid transformations. Hybrid and remote environments have pushed traditional boundaries of where and when we do our jobs.
Attitudes towards how, why, and for whom we work are changing as well. Today, more people are choosing to work independently or for themselves. Many are pushing back against the “live to work” mentality, choosing opportunities that bring better life balance, and employers that invest in their wellbeing.
At the same time, the pace of technological change is accelerating faster than ever before. AI and its unrelenting developments are fueling the newest wave of disruption, threatening to displace certain functions while also creating opportunities for new forms of work.
The report also goes under the hood of a “skills engine” that we believe is needed to identify the skills people have, understand the skills the workforce needs, and close the delta as quickly as possible. Such an engine will enable key behavioral changes in how we attract and support the future workforce. Thanks to AI and new tech-enabled services, this skills engine is within reach. Already some of the key pieces are being built, and opportunities are ripe for other innovations.
