The Future of Work

In year three of a global pandemic, employers are still grappling with when – and whether – to bring employees back to the office. Employees, meanwhile, are voluntarily leaving their jobs en masse as part of the “Great Resignation.” Given a possible new reality marred by new and mutating strains of COVID-19 and other viruses, will hybrid or remote work become the new normal? Can a workforce that is now accustomed to working from anywhere be forced to return to the office full time? This session will explore what the future of work will look like, and the long-term implications on the workplace and the workforce stemming from more than two years of hybrid and remote work. This session will also examine how board members should be thinking about these risks and opportunities and working with management on talent and human capital.
