About us
The unstoppable growth of globalisation, the virtualisation of organisations, the platforms they operate on, and the changing values of workers: a new world is being created around us.
The Future of Work research centre examines how work is changing, and will change, in response to these trends. We conduct original research into work trends and dynamics and collaborate with academics and practitioners to unpick what work and workers will look like in the future.
