The world has legislated for a fairer workplace and companies have promoted their contribution to a fairer world for years. But has much really changed? By 2050, fairness and purpose will look completely different, and employers will have to adapt to new demands from employees.

Will businesses have to show support for and even skill up their employees to be effective activists? Will the shareholder model of capitalism be overtaken by stakeholder capitalism where workers demand a fairer share of the value they create?
