Good morning!
Here at Fast Company we spend a lot of time thinking about how various forces will shape the future of work. This week, we’re narrowing our focus and asking experts to give us their best projections about the workplace of 2040.What jobs will be impacted by automation? How will workers adapt to world shaped by climate change? Will the open office concept finally die?
Today, Work Life writer Pavithra Mohan explores how shifting demographics might impact corporate D&I efforts, and Tech writer Sean Captain looks at corporate surveillance and how it will impact daily life for workers—more than it does already.
