For generations, the American experience involved going to school, getting an education, entering the workforce and having a career. Today, technological advancements, demographic shifts and the ever-changing economic landscape threaten to change the definition of work. Robots are replacing humans and lines of code are replacing bricks and mortar. Could these and other emerging trends signal the end of work as we know it?
At WeWork, we are helping to create a world where people work to make a life, not just a living. There has been a macro shift toward a new way of work—one focused on a movement towards meaning. WeWork is accelerating this movement.
As part of its “Future of Philly” series, WeWork will host a panel discussion around this topic. We will look into the future and delve into strategies, address the opportunities and rising challenges we face in this new era.
Speakers will be discussing the cultural shifts of work on a global scale and how that will play into the future of work here in Philadelphia. Topics will include the rise of cities and millennials, mobile technology, platforms, and the sharing economy which will shape the future of Philadelphia's economic landscape.
