The good work framework
05 October 2022
The nature of work has been impacted by technological changes, demographic and social shifts, climate change, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As companies navigate these trends and take stock of lessons learned, there is an opportunity to rebuild for a more human-centric, sustainable, and resilient future of workforces by design.
Companies are redesigning their people processes and work practices to intentionally mainstream good work across their operations. Relatable organizations are coming off mute on what they stand for and setting ‘good work’ standards that reflect the values of all their stakeholders.
The future of good work is here
In collaboration with the World Economic Forum (WEF), our new whitepaper The Good Work Framework: A new business agenda for the future of work shares insights into a Framework enabling good work - comprising five pillars with associated goals to address people issues arising from the trends.
96% of investors expect their company to pursue a sustainability agenda. Brand and reputation are the #2 reason why people join their organization.
