What is the future of work?
In recent years, we've seen accelerated change in the way we work. Hybrid working is now the expectation and remote working is more common than ever before. AI is an everyday tool in the workplace and advances in technology are keeping us connected. Workplaces need to be more flexible and designed for community-building. The future of work asks: where do we go from here?
How the future of work will evolve is uncertain. But it's clear that further change, driven by both human factors and technology, is on the horizon. How will we work in the future? From where? Who (or what?) will do the work? And what are the legal implications of these changes?
- On the horizon
The conversations we can support your business with include:
- establishing new working relationships with employees
- employee retention, attracting the right talent, and recruiting and retaining the older workforce.
- new, creative models of working and associated risk assessments, employment contracts and technology systems
- the risks, benefits and uses of AI in the workplace
- balancing the social and environmental aspects of the ESG equation to meet emission obligations and attract the best talent
- reducing carbon emissions and planning for 'carbon optimum' under hybrid working
- evaluating real estate portfolios and contracts
- tax liabilities of hybrid and remote working across borders
- changing occupations, the role of technology, and reskilling and retraining your workforce
