Episode Description
What will the workforce of the future look like? What kind of work will we be doing? Where and how will we work? Will robots do our work? Join Host Kate Ebner and Guest Margaret Regan, President and CEO of The FutureWork Institute for a look into the future. Regan, an expert in workforce planning, helps companies to see what’s coming - and get prepared. “I’m never surprised,” says Regan. “At the FutureWork Institute, we see the future.” That future includes virtual company meetings that enable an entire international workforce to participate fully, robots that are already doing some work better than humans, and a vision of diversity that includes personal “enhancements” that dramatically improve human capabilities. As work becomes evermore global and technology changes our possibilities, the very nature of work is undergoing a transformation right before our eyes. Do you see it? Learn how to understand and anticipate the future by tuning in to Visionary Leader, Extraordinary Life.
