Leaders,
The Future of Work is at a pivotal moment.
We can’t say we’re the reality of work (just yet). Why? If you look at corporate budgets, we account for less than 1% of the total spend on talent, and less than 5% of total external talent spend.
But whether it’s Fortune 500 CEOs or major governments, those taking notice and acting will make flexible talent the norm rather than the fringe.
Bettina Schaller is one of these leaders who can make flexible work a global reality for billions of people worldwide. In this episode, we explore the policy and infrastructure changes required to make it happen.
Bettina shares insights on the importance of adapting to evolving work models and emphasizes the need for frameworks that balance flexibility with worker security. She discusses the challenges and benefits of freelance work, highlights the role of leaders in embracing diverse forms of work, and addresses the ethical considerations of AI in the workforce, advocating for responsible implementation.
Key takeaways:
The Future of Work requires adaptable frameworks that balance flexibility and security for workers.
Freelance work offers opportunities for flexibility and innovation, but it also requires safeguards against exploitation.
Leaders should embrace diverse forms of work and consider the value and impact of freelance talent.
Ethical AI is an exciting area of focus, with the need to ensure responsible implementation and protect workers' rights.
