With society and technology changing rapidly, the WBCSD works to define a vision for a Future of Work in which people can thrive – personally, professionally, and as active members of their communities.
O World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) The book "Business Principles for People-Centered Technology Transformation" is now available in Portuguese: "Princípios empresarial para uma transformação tecnológica cento nas pessoas".
The document outlines the guiding principles that companies can use to ensure the continued trust, preparedness, and resilience of their employees; attract and retain the best professionals; stay ahead of expectations and regulations; and contribute to the development of successful human resources, companies, labor markets, and societies.
The WBCSD indicates that the challenge in the world of work is exacerbated by global trends in climate change, demographic shifts, migratory pressures, increased urbanization, and political backlash against globalization.
The institution points to the need for companies to prepare for changes and challenges.“We want to work with companies to shape them. Adopting a positive and proactive approach to shaping the Future of Work will allow companies to respond to people's desire for income security, well-being, empowerment and purpose” (WBCSD).
The project Future of Work The WBCSD is calling on companies to build the foundations for fair and meaningful work, implement new technologies responsibly, and operate with high levels of transparency and trust; to work together to create strategies and business models that enable a future of equitable, diverse, inclusive, and empowering work, with people at the center.
“Emerging Professionss”
LinkedIn points out, in the survey “Emerging Professions 2020”Of the 15 emerging professions in 2020, nine are directly related to information technology.
Companies with a purpose
According to the Global Talent Trends Study 75% of professionals prefer to work in companies with a sense of purpose, and 77% seek a healthy environment that promotes employee well-being. According to Veglio, the research demonstrates the need to improve the system, encompassing employees, businesses, the labor market, and social security mechanisms.
“We believe that people, regardless of the type of work they do, aspire to four fundamental elements: financial security, physical and mental well-being, empowerment, and a desire to contribute – whether personally, professionally, or to society in general. This seems simple, but in a world where 700 million people are in extreme poverty, 20 million are in forced labor, more than 801% of the US workforce is considered stressed at work, and about 501% of workers believe their jobs are meaningless, we have obstacles to overcome,” says Filippo Veglio, director of the WBCSD.
