Future of Work, AI and the New Employment Deal with Kevin Empey

Episode notes

What does it really take to thrive in the future of work? In this episode of the HRchat Podcast, host Bill Banham is joined by Kevin Empey , founder of Work Matters and author of Thrive in the Future of Work , to explore how AI, hybrid work, digital transformation, and changing employee expectations are reshaping organizations around the world. Together, Bill and Kevin examine how the workplace has evolved over the past decade - from hyper-digitalization and the lasting impact of COVID-19 to the rapid adoption of generative AI and the changing relationship between employers and employees. They discuss why many organizations are focusing on employee engagement when the real challenge may be a growing alignment gap between business priorities and workforce expectations. The conversation also explores the future of hybrid work, the return-to-office debate, AI's impact on job design, and why HR leaders must rethink early careers if they want to create opportunities for the next generation of talent.
