Track Description
Technological developments continue to reshape work design, performance and management at the individual, organizational and societal levels. As organizations increasingly digitalize work, the established structure and norms of office work routines are transforming. The nature of work is becoming increasingly contingent, mobile and flexible. Exemplars of contemporary work structures include remote and nomadic work, the 4-day workweek, globally distributed project work, crowdsourcing, and on-demand freelance work brokered through dedicated platforms.

The automation and augmentation of work with artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and blockchain are transforming organizations, industries, labor markets and societies as humans are replaced by, or working with, ever more intelligent algorithms and robots. Some workers are concerned that whole classes of jobs and occupations may become obsolete while demand for other occupations grow at an increasing rate. Some workers and organizations, on the other hand, are excited about the opportunities these new technologies enable in improving work efficiency and introducing greater innovativeness and competitive edge. Workers will need to adapt their skill portfolios to remain employable and optimize their careers. Organizations will need to manage their human capital portfolio to capitalize on increasingly sophisticated automation and autonomization while maintaining the necessary skillsets to coordinate and manage the next generation of tools and processes. At the same time, the meaning of work and employment is shifting as digital natives become a dominant force throughout modern organizations and contribute to redefining the future of work.
