The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of new forms of working and new working arrangements largely enabled by technology. The Future of Work is a projection of how work, working, workers and the workplace will evolve in the years ahead from the perspective of different actors in society, influenced by technological, socio-economic, political, and demographic changes.

This open access book is a timely exploration of some of the challenges and prospects for the future of work from two main perspectives: how work is changing and how to prepare for work in the future. An evidence-based assessment of these topics offers some critical perspectives that challenge old assumptions and opens up emerging trends and possibilities for work in the future. As part of the Palgrave Studies in Digital Business & Enabling Technologies series, this book is an essential resource for academics of Business, Human Resource Management, Organisational Psychology and Industrial Relations, aswell as practitioners and policy makers.

"This book will provide a good reference for researchers and academics in business, HR management, organizational psychology, and industrial relations who are studying the future of work. Practitioners and policymakers can also refer to this book, with a filter for leaving out any research done more than a decade ago. It is highly recommended for PhD students interested in the subject, because it opens windows for future research." (C.S. Arora, Computing Reviews, February 23, 2024)
