According to the ILO the global job gap is projected at 453 million people in 2023. The COVID-19 pandemic served as a catalyst for trends such as remote and hybrid work. But the topic is much broader – especially since many workers are not able to work off-site. The future of work involves thinking about leadership, culture, customers, talent, training, reskilling, and more. How have employers responded to new challenges when it comes to the future of work? What impact will generative Artificial Intelligence have on the workplace? How will the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations get back on track?
1014 and the American Council on Germany hosted a discussion about the future of work with representatives from two organizations representing employers. We enjoyed a lively discussion with Steffen Kampeter, Chief Executive Officer of the Bundesvereinigung der Deutschen Arbeitgeberverbände (Confederation of German Employers‘ Associations (BDA), and Roberto Suárez Santos, Secretary-General of the International Organization of Employers (IOE).
