Introduction

With the sudden and rapid shift towards agile modern workspaces, organizations are looking for ways to support an increasingly diverse, distributed and dynamic workforce securely, effectively and productively. The workspace, culture, and the technology ecosystem to enable the future of workforces would be defined by hybrid environments where data provision will have to be orchestrated seamlessly.

To enable success to the new workforce, in the new paradigm of work, companies need to effectively provision answers on how to manage and secure a distributed workforce in a hybrid working environment in the next few years. Or how automation and intelligent technologies will augment employees and create heightened business value? Or even being able to adapt to new changes dynamically?

The three prominent components of culture, spaces, & technology will be influenced by the following factors:

  • Human centric designs - provisioning of work tool empowerment
  • Hybrid work environments - confluence of digital and physical environments
  • Prescriptive talent management - solutions that enable and identify skilling and training requirements
  • Cultural design embedment - ensuring people and cultural factors in to workforce management


TechCircle this year presents the debut edition of the Future of Workforce Summit.

Themed ‘Enabling Human-Centric Designs’, the event focuses on creating spheres of workforce management in tandem with digital solutioning, secure hybrid work environment, and eventually adapt to dynamic changes.
