aNewHR curates the most thought-provoking recent articles about the Future of Work 

As this global pandemic continues, it’s clear there are and will continue to be massive implications everywhere–including with the Future of Work. Now more than ever we need to be more intentional about shaping our collective future for the better. As human behavior tends to be, much of the narrative is driven by negativity and fear. Both are necessary for survival albeit in healthier doses. They can, however, run rampant and repetitive. aNewHR will endeavor to curate what only provokes new thinking when it comes to the Future of Work. Here are this week’s picks: 

  1. Does the future of work mean abandoning human connections for internet connections? (via Benefit News)
  2. The Urgent Need to Strengthen the Nation’s Resilience (Wall Street Journal)
  3. Working from home: Average productivity loss of remote work is 1% (ZDNet)
  4. From now on, every company must become a digital health company (Fast Company)
  5. The Data Scientist’s Role in the Future of Work (Business 2 Community)
  6. How AI can help us harness our ‘collective intelligence’ (BBC.com)
