“Book is a description of the new possibilities – possibilities already exploited in some workplaces – and a call to action amongst those companies that have so far not embraced the new opportunities available to them. … ‘Future work’ will be flexible in terms of where work is done and when it is done, and this will better serve the needs of both women and men in the workforce than the eight hour day spent at a single workplace away from home.” (Citizens Income Newsletter, citizensincome.org, January, 2016)"Thought-provoking and motivating, Future Work is a comprehensive guide to how organizations and their leaders can embrace the new world of work. It has proven to be a useful tool in our journey towards enabling our employees to individually own the way they work." - David Cole, Chief Risk Officer, Swiss Re "An invaluable resource for anyone who needs to increase employee productivity and reduce costs, and wants to do so in a way that is economically, environmentally and socially sustainable." - Stephen Leonard, General Manager Global Markets - Systems and Technology Group at IBM "In the brave new world of virtual work and agile, mobile workers, this new edition shares the journey of visionary people and companies who are charting a course through the waves of change. With detailed examples, case studies and practical recommendations, think of this book as the sextant for your own journey." - Rebecca Lea Ray Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Human Capital, The Conference Board "As a young entrepreneur, I believe Future Work is a must read for business leaders who want to take their organization into the 21st century. This book gives wonderful suggestions for tapping the full potential of our workforce and ourselves as leaders of the future." - Therese Kinal, Co-Founder and CEO of Unleash
