The world of work in the year 2030 will be radically different than it is today. Those changes will be driven by Artificial Intelligence, automation, changing demographics and globalization. Researchers and economists estimate that 65% of the jobs of 2030 have yet to be created. This rapid evolution in the work environment requires “future-proofing” of the labor force. Overall, future-proofing the job force is about being proactive and taking steps to prepare for the changes that are likely to occur in the future. By investing in training and development, utilizing a range of Human Resource strategies, and embracing new technologies, businesses can ensure that they are well-positioned to meet the changing needs of their industry and retain their valuable staff.
PricewaterhouseCooper sees four alternative worlds of work, all named after different colors. One world could move away from big companies as new technology allows small businesses to gain more strength. In another, companies might work together for the betterment of society as a whole.
