The workplace is changing again. Here’s what’s next.
The global workforce is at an inflection point. New technologies are reshaping how we work and even who we call a coworker. Meanwhile, five years since the pandemic began, managers are struggling to manage employees’ expectations as organizations continue to undergo major tech and personnel disruptions.
