Program Overview

The world is being transformed by several concurrent phenomena: climate change, game-changing technology, fragmented work-styles, remote work, the gig economy, changing demographics, global conflict, new paradigms for education, and a rapidly changing talent landscape. The impacts on recruiting, talent retention, employee benefits, employee well-being and the future of businesses is likely to be tectonic. In this contemporaneous moment, we discuss the implications for the workforce, for organizations, for all key aspects of organizational behaviour, and for the future of companies.

 

Join us at the Future of People@Work to discuss these implications for the workforce and organizations, and to ideate the future of enterprises. Contributions will be published in a report by the Asia School of Business.
