Differences are narrowing as the global workforce faces up to common challenges, says author Julia Hobsbawm in her new book,’ Working Assumptions’. But in creating a uniform agenda, are we in danger of encouraging groupthink? Julia Hobsbawm talks of ‘the United State of Work’ in which ‘the global workforce is more united than at any point in its history. Common challenges render differences narrower than at any point in the last century.’ When WORKTECH Academy surveyed the state of office real estate in six world cities for our Q1 2024 Trend Report for members, we discovered that the things New York, London, Buenos Aires, Madrid, Sydney, and Tokyo had in common were greater than the factors that made them different. But should this narrowing of workplace differences be a cause for celebration or a cause for concern? Julia Hobsbawm will be speaking at the WORKTECH New York conference on 7 October 2024. 📖Read the full WORKTECH Academy article here: https://lnkd.in/gUHaRyQA

The #hybrid work debate has been plagued by a binary mindset - all in-office or all remote. But what if we approached this challenge with a spirit of experimentation and openness? As talent strategist Sally Thornton (she/her) always says, "Yes, and..." - a mindset that embraces new possibilities. This "Yes, and..." approach is crucial for today's evolving talent landscape as it moves us away from a debate and towards possibilities... #hybridwork #talentstrategies #futureofwork Share Rewrite
