How to prepare for the future of work

Yesterday’s models are not up to the challenges of today. Without a bold new approach for tomorrow, companies will not survive.

The challenge – and the opportunity – for companies

Talent shortages, digital innovation, and evidence of the effectiveness of remote work have brought to light an uncomfortable reality: companies, by and large, rely on outdated models and outmoded ways of working. Employees expect more. Customers do, too. In this environment, companies must fight multiple battles to attract and retain talent, keep pace with accelerating change, and meet customers’ needs.

A rare opportunity

Business leaders need to rethink how their organizations are structured, how their people work and how they lead themselves. The good news is that they have a rare opportunity to start over. With lessons learned from the pandemic, companies can aspire to work models that promote employee well-being and enhance customer value.
