With economic uncertainty halting salary growth and headcount expansion across the UK, employees are taking the initiative to enhance their career prospects through digital reskilling. Our latest research found that almost four in five (79%) UK employers have seen staff request digital upskilling opportunities over the last twelve months to strengthen their career prospects, particularly in roles linked to emerging technologies like AI and machine learning (ML).
Instant Pay is the Future of Work

Oct 18, 2024 | thefutureofwork.pro | Nick Holt

Accelerated Wage Access (AWA), defined as any solution that allows access to wages earlier than the monthly pay cycle, is shaping the future of work and becoming an integral part of employee benefits packages. Workers increasingly demand flexible, instant payments to fit their modern lifestyle and changing financial needs. While society has continued to modernise how we pay for our goods and services, the way workers receive pay has not necessarily advanced at the same rapid pace.

Digital transformation, sometimes referred to as business or organisational change, brings with it the ability for organisations to revolutionise the way they operate through modern working practices. It is critical to ensuring organisations stay competitive in today’s ever-shifting global business landscape. Technologies such as artificial intelligence [AI] and robotics are increasingly embedded in key areas of commercial businesses to improve processes across the globe.
New Parents Are Struggling. Why Isn't Corporate Fully Flexible Yet?

Sep 5, 2024 | thefutureofwork.pro | Fiona Wylie

In a world that claims to value diversity, inclusivity, and work-life balance, it’s perplexing to see how little progress has been made in corporate flexibility, mainly when supporting new parents. Despite the rhetoric around the importance of well-being, many organisations still cling to outdated models that do not reflect the realities of modern family life. For new parents, this rigidity is more than just an inconvenience; it’s a significant barrier to their personal and professional success.

Jul 26, 2024 | thefutureofwork.pro | Chris Brown

Chris Brown, CEO of employee rewards, benefits, and recognition platform, Rippl, explores the critical role deskless workers play in the global economy and discusses how HR teams can empower them and unlock their full potential to drive future prosperity.

But what about the vast majority who keep the wheels of our economy turning – the deskless workforce?
Ethical Frameworks: How They Can Help Leaders Outperform the Competition

Jul 10, 2024 | thefutureofwork.pro | Andrew Rodgers

By establishing ethical frameworks, leaders can foster trust among employees which can drive up to a 400% increase in performance. The emergence of a moral vacuum and the lack of commonly held ethical frameworks in business are significant concerns for business leaders. To address this, leaders must strengthen, and sometimes re-establish, the ethical foundation within their organisations.
Building Bridges in Turbulence: The Role of Trust as the Key Leadership Skill

Jun 14, 2024 | thefutureofwork.pro | Stephanie Neal

The presence of trust can make or break a team structure. During times of uncertainty, the pressure falls on leaders to maintain, and sometimes restore trust within teams. However, less than half of leaders trust their own manager to do what is right, and less than a third say they trust senior leaders at their organisation, according to DDI’s Global Leadership Forecast 2023 (GLF). When emotions and workloads run high, trust can be the first thing to fall apart.

When it comes to attracting and retaining the best talent, HR professionals are continually looking for ways to ensure their organisation stands out from the crowd.

Hybrid Working: Are We Striking The Right Balance?

May 17, 2024 | thefutureofwork.pro | Hugh Scantlebury

We often think of the pandemic as the catalyst for mainstream adoption of remote, flexible, and hybrid working—and in many ways, it was. However, take-up increased steadily before the UK lockdowns—albeit under the radar and out of the headlines. Government figures suggest that between January and December 2019, around 12% of the UK workforce worked at least one day each week from home, and 5% most of the time.
Leadership Resilience: Three Unusual Wells to Draw From

May 1, 2024 | thefutureofwork.pro | Andrew Rodgers

The 2023 UN Global Compact-Accenture CEO Study reveals that 93% of CEOs are tackling at least ten concurrent challenges, ranging from inflation and climate issues to cultural splits and workforce disruptions. Increasingly, CEOs are now also frequently required to navigate morally ambiguous issues without prior examples to guide them. They need to maintain their ethical standards and push forward bravely, despite facing resistance, in addition to managing routine leadership tasks.
