How Technology Is Transforming The Future Of Work

Although technology has transformed nearly every aspect of our personal lives, it is only beginning to change the largest and most complex systems that govern our lives. Allison Baum Gates provides a compelling deep dive into how technology has disrupted how we make money, take care of ourselves, and find meaning. Through case studies drawn from her portfolio of nearly one hundred investments, she discusses the specific impact of artificial intelligence, automation, and analytics on how employers manage their workforce, how individuals navigate their careers, and how we value the results.

The Changing Nature Of The Employer/Employee Relationship

A combination of technological advancement, demographic shifts, and social justice movements have permanently disrupted the way we approach the workplace.

The Employer's Role In The Future Of Healthcare

The country’s leading employers, however, have started to leverage benefits as a key strategy for recruiting, retaining, and empowering a diverse workforce while also saving on claims costs. Allison Baum Gates discusses how employers play a key role in accelerating the shift toward a more accessible, equitable, and efficient healthcare system.
