Technological advances including automation and artificial intelligence will have significant influences on ways of working into the future
Recent changes in employment have occurred alongside significant demographic changes in workforces globally, including the emergence of the gig economy, changing labour mobility, digital transformations, and technological advances including automation and artificial intelligence. These innovations have significant influences on our ways of working now and in the future, and implications for how work is approached by management, labour and government regulation.
Our research acknowledges that for businesses to remain competitive, they need to be prepared for the opportunities and challenges afforded by digital and technological innovations. For the future workforce, understanding new ways of working and the new skills required through digital transformation is essential for survival and properity
