According to a Deloitte article entitled What is the future of work? the insights explained that the future of work will be defined by three things: the work itself, who does the work and where the work is done. Following this logic, employees are faced with a wealth of challenges.
Take Artificial Intelligence (AI) for example. Numerous media outlets have reported on the threat that automation poses to human employment. A 2017 McKinsey Global Institute study predicted that up to 800million workers will lose their jobs by 2030, to be replaced by robotic automation.
Whilst the often-reported threat of automation is headline-making, it isn’t the only change employees, employers, and HR, will have to deal with.
Increased hyper-connectivity – bought about by sophisticated technology and social media – means that, already, employees can be connected to the office 24/7. Remote working means that whilst individuals can circumvent the commute, they may never see their team members.And flexible arrangements might inspire guilt in employees who leave the office early, only to log on to work later in the evening.
