Guest speaker Steven Tobin, Executive Director of the Labour Market Information Council (LMIC)

The future of work is being shaped by powerful forces: technological progress, globalization, and demographic change are having a profound impact on labour markets, affecting both the quantity and quality of jobs that are available, as well as how and by whom they are carried out.

The future of work offers unparalleled opportunities, but there are also significant challenges associated with these mega-trends.

From a risk management perspective, the future of work will highlight the need for new skills, new ways of retention and recruitment for virtually all industries. It will also put pressure on our educational institutions to prepare for the skills needed for the future of work

What changes could be in store for the workplace, the workforce, and the nature of work itself?

Our guest speaker, Mr. Steven Tobin, will provide key information on the following topics for discussion:

  • Recent developments in labour markets
  • Key drivers and implications for the world of work
  • Policy considerations for shaping our future
