IN:WA’s ‘New World of Work’ panel discussion – tomorrow March 15

IN:WA invites you to join panelists, Amberlea Henriques, Annie Simpson and Julie Hobbs on March 15th to hear their views on what this future holds for the communications industry and what we can all do to prepare for it.

 

In a world of technology and change, one of the biggest challenges right now is that of finding the best people to power your business.

The creative communications industry is by no means immune from this, with agencies delicately balancing opportunities and expectations.

This is not necessarily another COVID-related issue. The future of work discussion has been on the agenda for many years, as we see creative industries either brace for (or embrace) a new frontier of technological disruptors and generational change.

The ‘New World of Work’ will see new skills and jobs emerge that we have not seen before. It will also demand more human-centric workplace policies and spaces, with an increasing need for the “four Cs” – care, cognitive, communication and computing skills[1].

What does this all mean for the creative communications industry and how do we plan for it now? We invite you to join our three panelists to hear their views on what the future holds and what we can all do to prepare for it.
