We live in a world where work is no longer defined by traditional jobs, the workplace is no longer tied to a specific location, and many workers are not conventional employees. With the rise of AI in the workplace, the future of work has become increasingly uncertain. Organizations are reevaluating everything, from their talent strategies to the role of human resources, to optimizing human performance in a technology-driven environment.
