The world of work is constantly changing. Concepts that our parents or grandparents grew up with, such as the nine-to-five office and the job-for-life, are being consigned to the past.
Technology is clearly a driver behind much of this. However, societal changes such as aging populations in many developed countries and a growing understanding of the environmental impact of working practices are important factors, too. In 2024, we can expect to see further development of many of the trends that have reshaped our working lives in recent years. However, the impact of breakthrough technologies will be felt more keenly than ever as the rate of adoption accelerates. This wave of digitization and transformation will affect everyone, even those outside of the high-tech industries and tech-focused roles where it is already the norm.
This set of trends focuses on changes that will impact our working lives on a day-to-day basis. Look at it as a heads-up for those who want to get ahead. Or for bosses or managers, it can be thought of as pointers for where to focus your efforts to ensure your workforce is ready to face the biggest challenges of 2024.This is probably the big one. There’s a popular line of thought today that AI won’t replace jobs – but people who can use AI will replace people who can’t.
In my opinion, this is the most important area in which we have to make conscious changes to our behavior. Understanding and reducing the impact of our actions on our environment and planet requires rethinking many aspects of our working lives, from where we work to how we create and implement circular processes that reduce wastage and encourage recycling and re-use of resources.
