Episode summary:

In this conversation, Andy and I discuss how technology (Web 3.0 and others) may shape the future of work, which requires us to rethink how the work is organised. This will provide flexibility and freedom to workers and provide organisations with a broader talent network. As a result, employer branding becomes even more critical to attract and retain them. HR leaders and CHROs need to think like a futurist, and Andy shared the skills they will require to think like a futurist.

Key questions and topics covered:

1. The role of People Scientists in defining the future of work

2. You wrote about Great flourishing and not termed it as great resignation. Can you elaborate on your point of view on that?

3. How would you explain blockchain as a concept to an HR Leader?

4. How new technologies may be able to support talent network for economic inclusion

5. What is Web 3.0, and what changes will emerge for work and the surrounding infrastructure?

5. How may that change the employment models and contracts?

6. We hear a lot of noise around algorithms and inbuilt biases in hiring. What is your view on the future of hiring?

7. What skills do HR leaders need to build to think like futurists? And why that is important?

Sound bites from the podcast:

(please listen to the podcast for full context)

‘There's a nice quote about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is everything you don't know about money combined with everything you don't know about computing. And I think that's true. Nobody can know about the economics of digital currencies…..’

‘…..But the global workforce is 3.4 billion, and about 2 billion of those people work informally including half the worlds working age women. They don't have a formal job contract. So I think what we're going to see is economic inclusion with people able to earn in these different ways.’
