Sanjay Rajaraman•3/17/2024
As automation technologies advance, the workplace is undergoing a fundamental transformation. By 2025, the World Economic Forum predicts that 85 million jobs may be displaced by automation, while 97 million new roles may emerge that are better adapted to the new division of labor between humans and machines.
Key trends shaping the future of work:
- Hybrid human-AI workflows becoming standard
- Emphasis on soft skills and creative thinking
- Continuous learning and adaptation
- Remote work enabled by automated systems
- New roles focused on AI management and oversight
To prepare your business:
- Invest in employee upskilling programs
- Create clear automation implementation roadmaps
- Develop change management strategies
- Focus on human-centric skills development
- Build a culture of innovation and adaptability
The businesses that thrive will be those that view automation not as a threat, but as an opportunity to enhance human capabilities and create more engaging work environments.
The future workplace will be one where humans and machines complement each other, each focusing on their respective strengths to achieve better outcomes together.
