 This year’s Business Briefing theme is 

 ‘Our Future at Work:  Opportunities and Challenges’

The Future at Work is shaping up to be one of the most unsettling and significant business challenges for the next decade. Being open to different approaches and ways of thinking is critical in employer relations as the pace of change in our workplacesaccelerates driven by new technology, increasing diversity and globalisation. A proactive role will be needed in preparing our staff for the changes and challenges that coincide with extensive digitization, technological adoption and new legislative requirements.

It will require a more focused, hybrid approach and employers will have to utilise a combination of employment styles to enable flexibility, creativity, and standardisation. Future leadership must include more innovative thinking and possess the ability to deal with the complexities of different contracts, different modes of employment, and a multitude of differing schedules and working hours.
