This collection of articles from MIT Sloan examines the ways in which employers can empower their workforces to master new technologies and navigate evolving risks. The articles cover topics such as why the future of work requires disrupted, nimble leadership and how, guided by a new social contract, organisations can develop working models that deliver for their shareholders, employees and global communities. They explore what managers need to know as they build a future-ready workforce and what ‘work of the future’ means to business leaders, including integrating data and AI programmes, honing empathy skills, and meeting workers’ expectations and needs.
