Or will offices become more like those of Google and Facebook — with free food, games, and quirky decorations — all of which might encourage you to spend just a little more time at work?
A panel of experts joins us to take a peek at the future. We'll explore the kinds of labor increasingly being rewarded and accommodated and who will have trouble making it in the new workplace.
Guests:
-
Wendy Murphy, assistant professor of management, Babson College
-
Fred Foulkes, professor, Boston University School of Management; and faculty director, Human Resources Policy Institute.
-
David Sanford, executive vice president of client relations, Winter, Wyman
