Directors’ playbook: The future of work

A seminal paper on the future of work and the challenges and opportunities it presents for boards.

Directors are operating in an environment characterised by constant change, uncertainty and increasing complexity. One of the most significant changes concerns the future of work.

The way organisations are governed must adapt to these changes, and directors will need to take informed and considered steps to take advantage of the opportunities presented. Governance must be flexible in its response to the changing nature of work as well as providing oversight and strategic direction for new ways of working.

The Directors’ playbook: the future of work explores the key evidence on changing workforce trends from a governance perspective. It also provides practical advice and questions for directors to consider to inspire robust discussion about the role of boards in governing the future of work.
