How to transform the workforce and workplace to build resilience

Work has been in a state of flux for years, with its transformation being driven by powerful forces of disruption: demographic shifts, the changing nature of careers, and relentless advances in technology. When the global COVID-19 pandemic struck, it pushed the pace of change into overdrive, heightening anxieties about how to prepare for the future of work.

This includes the future of the workplace itself. In early 2020, many organizational leaders wouldn’t have approved a year-long work-from-home experiment for their desk workers; there are too many unknowns and too many stigmas around working from home. The pandemic has forced everyone to rethink our workplaces in the broadest sense. If the future of work is hybrid, what does that really look like?
