Are You Prepared for the Human Future of Work?

Google “the future of work” and you’ll find yourself sifting through a slew of articles discussing how organizations need to think about the evolution of the workplace in the coming years as it relates to the continuous changes in technology.

But there’s a glaring omission in the way organizations are thinking about the future: the human.

And by overlooking the humans in the workplace, we’re forgetting to think about the evolution of leadership. The biggest impact on employees is your organization’s leadership.

This is why we’re launching a movement focused on rethinking and reframing effective leadership for the human future of work.
