This report from the World Economic Forum examines the need to promote good work across the full post-pandemic landscape of in-person, hybrid and virtual work in all categories of employment. It highlights that five key issues have emerged that need to be addressed to ensure better work for workers and employers alike: volatility in wages and the cost of living; divergence on the demand for flexibility; silent pandemic in well-being; an erosion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) gains; and the need for a reskilling revolution. The paper proposes enhancing job quality through five objectives and associated goals, namely (1) promote fairness on wages and technology; (2) provide flexibility and protection; (3) deliver on health and well-being; (4) drive DE&I; and (5) foster employability and learning culture. As many employers and workers seek a “new normal” after the disruptions of the last few years, there is an opportunity to develop a new vision for the future of work, one that is ready for the new economy and society.
