The Future Of Work In An Evolving Economy - E-book - ePub

What does it take to succeed at work? A premium pedigree? Or a relevant industry exposure? May be both!The future of work is progressively transforming through technological advances coupled with exceptional talent to meet the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. No longer there are demands for a 9-5 workforce but a desperate need for change makers, innovators, automation drivers that dilute conventional methods of operation and introduce sustainable workplace practices.
But the question is - Is technology the only medium of progress? What about workplace relationships?  Individual and team efficiency, stakeholder management, customer relationships require "softer" elements of one's personality to build and cement bonds. While technology can aid in managing the product lifecycle, "soft or people skills" help sustain business relationships. This book is an exploration into research by The World Economic Forum that outlined Top 10 Soft Skills that will lead the way in an evolving economy.
It also showcases the best people practices adopted by corporate giants like Apple, Google, Amazon, Starbucks, Tesla and more. You will also be able to practice reflection exercises to strategise your career expansion.
