Joining us on the podcast today is economist and author Linda Nazareth. She discusses the shifting tides of Canada’s economy, and how factors such as technological advancements and climate change are altering the future of work. She says AI is causing huge changes and it’s time as individuals and a society to start changing with technology. She adds organizations need to be constantly on top and looking for what they need - this means hiring people, retraining them, and figuring out how to make employees stay long-term. Linda explains to host Pamela Ritchie that there are two primary ways to boost productivity- either have people work longer hours or invest more in advanced technology. She adds companies must change the climate of work and avoid a toxic work environment to get the best performance out of employees. Linda says investing in machines that boost productivity are essential, in addition to re-educating workers as they get older.
