Workforce and Employment

  • How can hybrid working drive diversity and productivity?

    Thursday 26th of May 2022

    Real estate has been catapulted onto the C-Suite agenda. The growing flow of workers returning to the office is forcing companies to review their entire workplace strategy. CEOs and CFOs are balancing the costs of the physical workplace against the benefits of having employees come together in one place. Research shows conclusively that the better the workplace, the more time employees want to spend there; the right type of space, in the right place, is key to attracting and retaining talent.

  • Why refugees need a better chance at professional development

    Wednesday 25th of May 2022

    While many put their life plans on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic, one individual made the most of every moment. During a full-time job as a construction labourer, he collected fossils and took them home to examine after work. He built a telescope from everyday objects in his kitchen and used it to monitor comets. He built a microscope to observe his environment in detail and connected it to his phone to track organisms, electrical currents and water movement. Despite his long hours working in construction, his thirst to explore nature was unquenchable.

  • Care economy: an opportunity to create jobs and close the gender gap

    Wednesday 25th of May 2022

    During the last two years, experts have gauged the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on various productive industries of the global economy. But the care economy, a sector profoundly affected by lockdowns, did not receive enough attention from experts.

  • What is the future of work for persons with disabilities?

    Wednesday 25th of May 2022

    What do a quality analyst, digital marketer, service manager, full-stack developer, tech founder, cyber cafe owner, grocery store owner, YouTuber, artist, accessibility tester and caregiver have in common? They all represent mainstream, entrepreneurial, creative and “purple sector” jobs, already being done by individuals with different types of disabilities, including severe and multiple disabilities. They also represent the areas of work unfolding for persons with disability (PwDs) in the future.

  • We can’t create shared value without data. Here’s why

    Tuesday 24th of May 2022

    In 2011, I was co-teaching a course on Corporate Social Innovation at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, when our syllabus nearly went astray. A paper appeared in Harvard Business Review (HBR), titled “Creating Shared Value,” by Michael E. Porter and Mark R. Kramer. The students’ excitement was palpable: This could transform capitalism, enabling Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” to bend the arc of history toward not just efficiency and profit, but toward social impact.

  • 5 challenges to good work and how to overcome them

    Tuesday 24th of May 2022

    The nature of work has been changing through the impact of technological change, social transformation, the green transition and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As companies emerging from the pandemic take stock of the lessons that have been learned and seek to redesign their people processes and work practices, there is an opportunity to develop a new vision for the future of work.
