CEO and Founder of Werkling Michelle Fotheringham believes we need to reframe the idea that the future of work is something in the distance - in fact, the future of work is already here.

Treating humans like grown-ups, trusting humans to do the work remotely, and transitioning to a different kind of work are starting points for business success. Michelle pulls no punches on the pitfalls of sticking your head in the sand at a time when organisations need to get creative.
