The future of work is evolving. The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of new technologies and has forced companies to rethink their strategies. There are several implications for how work will get done going forward. This is an opportunity for companies to attract, engage and develop employees using a new paradigm, or run the risk of facing high turnover and low morale if they take too rigid of an approach.

While no one has the answers to the best approach for the future, thought leaders are further down the path to figuring it out. We are pleased to bring together three top Chief People Officers to share their perspectives during this panel discussion.
