The Future of Work

Technological developments continue to reshape how work is designed, performed, and managed at individual, organizational, and societal levels. Traditional employment arrangements are increasingly becoming contingent, flexible, and distributed. The accelerated digitalization of information is pushing many organizations away from the established archetype of 9-5 office work towards more contemporary approaches to work. Exemplars of contemporary approaches to work include mobile or remote work, offshoring, outsourcing, globally distributed project work, as well as freelancing on demand, brokered through dedicated platforms such as Mechanical Turk, Uber, and TaskRabbit.

The automation and augmentation of work with artificial intelligence are transforming not just organizations and industries, but potentially entire labor markets, with humans being replaced by, or working together with, ever smarter algorithms and robots. There is a concern among workers that whole classes of job roles and occupations are at risk of extinction, while demand for other job roles in other occupations grow at an increasing rate. Workers in these jobs will need to adapt their skills portfolio and careers to remain employable. At the same time, the meaning of work and employment are shifting as the new generation of digital natives reconfigure the future of work.
