Critical Questions

These key challenges lead to the following questions:

  • - How might employees adapt to rapid change? How do we support employee's wellbeing in the context of rapid change?
  • - What do organizations, companies and governments need to do become flexible and agile in a context of rapid change?
  • - How might we need to rethink how we value and leverage the capacities of both young workers and older workers in the context of an aging population? How might we need to rethink retirement? How might we need to reimagine the beginning of young people's careers?
  • - What does precarious work and increasing instability mean for employers and employees? How might we need to rethink workforce development, labour policy, unions as a result?
  • - How might we meaningfully move the needle to ensure that diversity becomes a reality rather than just an ideal?
  • - How might work / life balance look in years to come? How can we reduce levels of stress and resulting mental health issues?
