Future of Work: Tools, Talent, and the Changing Workplace

How work gets done is changing. AI and automation are handling routine tasks. Collaboration tools are reshaping where and how people work. Demographics are creating talent shortages in some sectors while displacing workers in others.

What workforce needs are emerging? Which skills are becoming critical, and which are becoming obsolete? How do organizations retrain existing workers versus hiring for new capabilities? What's the role of remote and hybrid work models—temporary adjustment or permanent shift?

How does technology change management, collaboration, and productivity? Where does automation create value versus where does it eliminate jobs without creating new ones?

Employers, HR leaders, workplace technology companies, workforce development organizations, economists, and policymakers discuss what's deployable now, what's coming, and how to prepare.
