About the session
With the UK at a crossroads and the pace of technological change increasing, now is our chance
to review priorities and shape the future of work we want.
New statistics show that the Fourth Industrial Revolution (‘4IR’) is affecting communities, sectors and regions with huge variation. How can we ensure that the full potential of the 4IR is achieved to create better jobs, ease worker transition and spread benefits across the UK?
Building on the Government’s Good Work Plan, we’ll be exploring the connection between good work and healthy lives, communities and the economy with the UK’s foremost experts. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goals on poverty, good health, decent work and economic growth, we aim to identify the foundations needed to create the best and most sustainable future for good work in the UK.
The conference will use the IFOW’s Good Work Charter as a frame for discussion, as well as reference The Health Foundation’s Healthy Lives Strategy. Opinium will publish exclusive new polling at the event.
Setting out the UK’s vision for the future of work, the conference aims to take stock of where we are now, articulate a vision for the best future work possible in Britain and discuss practical steps to achieving this.
