The pandemic has undoubtedly triggered lasting changes when it comes to working. Many were part of a forced experiment in remote working that has shifted perceptions about such arrangements. Others found themselves in jobs that required them to personally confront the virus on a daily basis just to keep society running. All of us had cause to reflect on what we want our work to look like and what role we want it to play in our lives. According to a Bain & Company survey conducted by Dynata, 58% of workers across 10 major economies feel the pandemic has forced them to rethink the balance between their work and their personal lives.
However, profound changes were starting to surface even before the pandemic. Concerns about the impacts of automation have surged as machine learning and related technologies have matured. In this regard, the Human Capital and Resources Committee of AmCham Philippines has invited Bain & Company to discuss the working future, and how important human resources are in this particular vision.
