The Future Of The Workforce Has Arrived, Can't You See It?

Listen Later

In this podcast I summarize a series of high-level meetings I’ve had with HR leaders in the EU, where companies are very focused on preparing for tectonic shifts in employee expectations, skills, and work rules. While articles and podcasts continue to talk about “the future of work,” I believe that narrative is over. The industrial work model has ended and the future has arrived, and I describe it clearly in this episode.

Takeaways

  • The industrial model of work is decomposing, and the traditional job structure is being replaced by more flexible and agile work arrangements.
  • Employees are changing jobs and industries frequently, and skills have become transportable.
  • Gig, contract, and part-time work is now mainstream, and the 4-day week is coming.
  • Companies need to focus on reskilling employees and promoting learning agility to adapt to the changing workforce.
  • Continuous performance feedback and accountability are becoming more important than annual performance appraisals.
  • High-performing companies have a clear mission, strong leadership, and a focus on employee development and support.
  • AI is transforming the workplace, and HR professionals need to upskill in AI to stay relevant.
