The Future of Work

5

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the way we worked and the skills we needed to succeed in our respective fields was shifting. Increased reliance on data to inform business decisions. The automation of job duties that made some workers redundant. The value of incorporating sustainability into everyday processes on the bottom line. And then COVID-19 shut down the world. Racism and inequalities came to dominate every conversation. And as companies grapple with DE&I initiates and engage with a remote workforce, the way we work today looks drastically different than from just a few years ago. What trends, skills, initiatives and equity will we face in the years to come? Each month, we talk with industry leaders in their fields to discuss the changing evolution of the workforce and the skills needed to stay competitive.

    The name isn’t what the show is about
    The show is supposed to be about the future of work given advances in AI and other technologies. But the show is mainly about promoting woke ridiculous ideologies regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The technology aspect of the conversation revolves around that goal. It’s just political propaganda and woke indoctrination disguised as tech-talk.
