Over more than a decade, a series of economic crises have led to major shifts in the labour markets – creating new types of jobs and destroying existing ones. Researchers are examining the extent of these changes in employment structures, ranging from the decline in mid-paid jobs to the upgrading in high-paid, high-skilled jobs. How are these changes affecting different regions or economies? And which emerging sectors show the most promise for achieving employment growth in developed economies, as well as sustainable development, employment creation and poverty alleviation in less developed economies? 

In this episode, Sergio Torrejón Perez, economic and policy analyst in the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and coordinator of the joint ILO-JRC project “Global shifts in the employment structure”, and John Hurley, Senior Research Manager, Employment Unit, Eurofound, discuss these trends, and their impact on the future of work.

Why Business Leaders Must Think Inclusively In Considering A Hybrid Working Model by Simona

Young people are increasingly prioritising careers with positive social and environmental impacts. Globally, two-in-five young people see social impact as one of the deciding factors for their career choices. 

At the same time, almost 50% of young people in OECD countries would prefer to be self- employed rather than work as employees. 

Young people are seizing opportunities and leading social enterprises across the world but what are the challenges and best paths to follow? How do we give young people a seat at the table? What can policy makers do to help?  Polly Akhurst from Amala gives us her insights.

Futurist Gerd Leonhard at Banco BCI Connect - Chile (ENGLISH version)

The next 10 years will bring more change than the previous 100 years - a decade of utter transformation is ahead of us. What we do in the next 10 years is likely to set course for the future of humanity, period. Along with the ongoing digital revolution we are now in the midst of the sustainable (green) revolution, and soon to be joined by the human revolution (the convergence of biology and technology). Green is the new digital, and #sustainable  is becoming the new profitable. As we leap further into the exponential age, the future is clearly no longer an extension of the present, and it's no longer about 'tomorrow', either - the future is a mindset, and it's already here. 

This is a recording of my entire keynote  @fortinet   Convergence 2022 in Monaco, August 25, 2022, on the next 10 years and what we can expect in technology, business, society and of course #sustainability.

Guest speaker:
•	Mark Thompson, Group Head of Sales, Sonovate

As we navigate ongoing skills shortages and a cost-of-living crisis, how can you ensure your business stays attractive to top talent and clients? Gone are the days where the option of work from home was seen as a "perk". So what does it take to entice highly skilled workers and remain competitive? We spoke to Mark Thompson of Sonovate on the revelations in their latest Future World of Work report 2023 . 

"Flexibility “was a recurring theme and the report uncovers what this could means for businesses, clients and candidates including:
•	64 % of respondents believe flexible working can alleviate the cost-of-living burden on their people
•	67% of businesses believe flexibility is crucial when it comes to competing for the most sought-after skills.

Hear Mark and Neil discuss the key takeaways from the report and answer some thought-provoking questions - questions you should be thinking about as you plan your workforce needs for 2023 and beyond:

•	The market has suffered from a shortage in skills for years. Can flexibility be the answer to plugging this talent gap?
•	What does flexible working and contract working mean for the recruitment industry?
•	What works in flexible companies and what doesn’t?
•	Is the cost of living making freelance working more appealing?
•	Technology has enabled a transformation in work practices, from remote working to flexible schedules. What will technology's role be as this evolution continues, and how can it create greater flexibility that works for companies and their people?

The ChatGPT Files: TheWork Speaks with Meg Bear

, former VP, Head of Real Estate & Work Transformation, Twitter was well into the hybrid / remote work transformation before Covid thrust the concept on the rest of us. Moving from the London and Dublin offices to Twitter Headquarters in Downtown San Francisco, she and her team had already expanded their thinking from a purely real-estate-centric focus on leases and occupancy, to how they could use the tools at hand to build and support the broader employee experience, culture development, and taking a more human-centric, activity based approach to how her team could enable Tweeps to do their best work, regardless of location. Covid certainly accelerated this, and Tracy’s team formally moved from the finance team to the people train in 2020. Tracy has executive support as she and team focused on the details, everything from formally institutionalizing, training, and promoting behaviors, norms or ‘etiquettes’ around asynchronous communication, fewer meetings, no-meeting Fridays, Perching, and more. Compete with Senior executive support and modeling of desired behaviors. As for space, the goal was choice, giving people a variety of environments to choose from, when they want to come in to accomplish something, be it heavily eam collaborative work, culture building and team bonding, or isolated focus work, Tracy and the team focused on providing options. Welcome to Work20XX, a show focused on the transitioning world of work, where we bring you the best minds in the business to provide insight, direction, and specific actions that leaders, line managers, and individual contributors can use as we experiment our way forward. In this far-ranging conversation, we cover these topics and more including the role of data, and a number of no-cost ways you can begin to better support all the people in the organization. Without further delay, a conversation with Tracy Hawkins
