Carryn Dewing — The Future Of Work

In this episode, I chat with Carryn about the future of work and how this may impact corporate companies.

There is no denying that the world - and the workplace - has shifted significantly since the start of the pandemic and has left lasting impressions. A new South African report has tracked the new trends around ‘The Great Disruption’ which includes the following:    - The #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter social movements have spilled over into the workplace. Many employees are no longer willing to work endlessly towards a purpose that doesn't resonate with them.   - Mental wellness is top of mind with companies responding with digital detoxes, 4 day work weeks and mental health days    - Only 10% of employees say they don't have the proper internet connection to work remotely effectively. 42% say they lack the office essentials required.    - The average time spent in work meetings is 10 minutes longer with virtual meetings than with face to face meetings.    - It is estimated that 50 million people consider themselves to be content creators. More kids want to be YouTube stars than Astronauts.   - Employees are rethinking when, where and why they work leading to mass shifts in skills, jobs and locations.
