Report Examines How New Trends Triggered by the Global
Pandemic are Shaping the Nature of Work, the Workforce and the
Workplace
The Future of Work is Here report from Deloitte outlines a
future world of work shaped by the Covid-19 pandemic which requires
more transparent and consultative leadership, greater focus from
employees on career development as automation increases and a more
proactive role for governments to invest to close the digital
divide.
Commissioned by Liberty Global, one of the world’s leading
converged video, broadband and communications companies, the report
draws on in-depth interviews with 26 European business leaders,
policymakers and researchers. The study has been commissioned to
help guide policymakers, employers and professionals on how the
pandemic may impact workplace practices and trends and will be the
subject of discussion at a special online event ‘The Future of Work
is Here’, at 15:00-16:00 CET on Wednesday, 3 March 2021.
Frans Dagelet, Partner, Deloitte Human Capital comments: “The
Covid-19 crisis has accelerated the thinking and action around the
future of work. It demonstrates more than ever that we need to
prepare for a different way of looking at work, leadership and
collaboration. The leaders that we have interviewed have given
insight to their business perspectives and how they have perceived
the acceleration of the future of work. We can conclude based on
the interviews and underpinning research that the work, workforce
and workplace face changes that have to be embraced and implemented
to stay relevant.”
Manuel Kohnstamm, Senior Vice President and Chief Corporate
Affairs Officer, Liberty Global adds: “This report demonstrates
that the future of work is already here as the Covid-19 crisis
continues to transform how and where we work. All of society has
had to adjust to the opportunities and challenges of this
fast-tracked reality. Schools, businesses, employees and
governments, everyone had a steep learning curve this year. This
timely report facilitates valuable debate around what needs to be
done to make the most of the opportunities and minimise the
negative impacts of such rapid and dramatic shifts in working
practices.”
Research of this nature is intended to inform the broader debate
on important issues and Liberty Global does not necessarily endorse
all of the conclusions Deloitte reach in their report.
