Thinkers in Residence (2023)
Public Lecture: “Transformative change in the future of work” by Prof Sharon Parker
In her lecture, Paula discussed the concept of changing work patterns and its impact on workers. The COVID-19 pandemic produced seismic changes for the work context of many workers. Work hours, locations, and the use of technology were rapidly changed, while work characteristics such as autonomy, supervision, support, and social interactions produced long-term impacts for organisational cultures and connections which in many cases, are still being rectified. The talk discussed the changing work patterns, their consequences, and identified key considerations for the promotion of decent work in both the short and long term.Workshop
The 2023 topic was on transformative change in the future of work, which encompasses developments such as the rise in artificial intelligence and automation.
The focus of the 2-day workshop was on the ethical, social, and work-related implications associated with the future of work, particularly in relation to effects for female workers.
