What’s your take on the 'new' world of work and what’s the most significant trends for you as a global talent leader?
The way I see it is that the ‘new’ world of work offers immense opportunity on the back of all the uncertainty that it entails. There is opportunity to relook at the ways of working, people practices, business models, and for companies to redefine the whole definition of an ‘employee’. Employees are looking for purpose and a meaningful direction for their work, as many are choosing to become entrepreneurs and many others as freelancers.
