How is Employment Changing?
Future jobs will allow flexibility like never before. Working full-time at one company is no longer the only option. Here are the four primary ways for workers to be employed to earn a living:
Gig work
refers to the work performed by individuals that use an App to select and perform simple tasks.
Tours of Duty
refers to the work performed by individuals based on a limited life contract where the employee and employer agree on the purpose of the relationship, the expected benefits, and the term of the agreement.
Consulting work
refers to the work performed by individuals on a project or part-time basis for their specialist skills.
Employment
refers to work performed by individuals employed on a full-time basis by an employer
The future of work will require us to cooperate, collaborate, and partner with automation and robots. With automation and robots performing repetitive tasks, people will perform higher-level cognitive tasks and work in teams. These new ways of working will require competencies not currently taught by our education systems, such as:
-
Social and emotional intelligence skills to enable effective communication, cooperation, collaboration, and conflict resolution
-
Creativity, curiosity, compassion, and courage
Awareness of the current and future work trends paves the way for you to adapt and help yourself stay relevant.
Accepting the New Trends in Employment
Concern about a "jobless future" has never been greater. Researchers and leaders suggest that workers will increasingly be a surplus to what organizations need in a world of automation and artificial intelligence (AI).
Or, as Stanford University's Jerry Kaplan says in his best-selling book, it won't be long before "humans need not apply." The need of the hour is to move beyond fear toward adapting to the new world and adopting the practices and awareness of what the future may hold.
Why should I take this quiz?
The future of work is being shaped by two powerful forces: the growing adoption of automation and robotics in the workplace and the need for new skills and talents.
What changes could be in store for the workplace, the workforce, and the nature of work itself? What is my current level of awareness of the future of work? Can I be in the right place at the right time? How will technology change in the coming years?
Take this quiz to get answers to these questions.
