The future of work will change as a result of:

• Technological changes – AI and automation transforming the workplace
•  New jobs emerging as automation replaces old jobs
• Our aging population – people working for longer, creating a multi-generational workforce
• Changing social contracts – people wanting different things from work and having more say
• Globalisation – more movement of people and a greater reach for talent from further afield
• More flexibility and agility in the way work can be done

As HR Professionals we will need to help individuals and organisations to adapt by:

• Working closely with IT and business to understand the shifting trends
• Collaborating with governments and society at large in responding responsibly to changes
• Supporting individuals in life-long learning & the development of new skill acquisition
• Workforce planning and development of talent pipelines to address skills shortfalls
• Developing employer/employment propositions that appeal to future workers and help attract and retain workers
• Communicating and engaging with workers to share an understanding of motivations and concerns about changing
