The Future of Work

9 Ideas That Summarise The Future
of Work (And How You Can Prepare For it)
Thomas Oppong

Work as we know it has changed.

Human progress is inevitable. And progress is impossible without
change.

The industrial revolution required routine skills. Most of them
are no longer sufficient to thrive and do better in the current
evolution of work.

William Gibson once said, “The future is already here — 
it’s just not very evenly distributed.”/.../

Utopia

William Morris (1834-1896) is best-known today as a Victorian designer who has never gone out of fashion. You can buy Morris merchandise – from coasters to picture frames to ties to mugs – in the gift shops of every big design museum. And if you Google his name, your screen will erupt in cascades of dense, colourful ornaments. But Morris was also a radical thinker, a Socialist and, after Karl Marx’s death, a leader of the Socialist League. One of the most relevant aspects of Morris’s work today is the framework for a commons-based world of cooperation that he sketched in his utopian novel News from Nowhere (1890), which has striking applications for the age of the internet. /.../

1889: May Day founded
In this day in 1889, May Day—traditionally a celebration of the return of spring, marked by dancing around a Maypole—was first observed as a labour holiday, designated as such by the International Socialist Congress.

ISO 45001

Recomendado pela AMICOR Berenice Goelzer ISO 45001 is here! Dear friends and colleagues - welcome to the ISO newsletter! This edition is dedicated to the world’s first International Standard for occupational health and safety – ISO 45001! Firstly, we get an overview of the standard from the experts who developed it and cover what you need to know to get started in your business. We then go into detail about the state of workplace safety around the world and how ISO 45001 can be a game changer for millions of workers everywhere. We also talk to UK manufacturers association EEF about workplace health and safety in the manufacturing industry. Last but not least, we give an overview of the difference between OHSAS 18001 and ISO 45001 and how to migrate to the new standard effectively.

ISO 45001 – All you need to know Every day, thousands of lives are lost due to work accidents or fatal diseases linked to work activities. These are deaths that could and should have been prevented, and must be in the future. ISO 45001 aims to help organizations do just that. Here, Kristian Glaesel and Charles Corrie tell us how the new standard will bring safety to the front line. Read more

Our world with ISO 45001 Whether it’s a failure to protect workers against toxic chemicals, or a sleep-deprived employee getting into a fatal car accident, millions of people are hurt or killed at work each year. Now, with the arrival of the world’s first International Standard on occupational health and safety, many such incidents can be prevented. Uncover why ISO 45001 has the potential to be a real game changer for millions of workers (and workplace health hazards) around the world. Read more

Toward a healthier manufacturing industry Workplace health and safety hazards can be costly (to lives and the bottom line), but the good news is that they are largely preventable if the right precautions are taken. Here, EEF representative Mike Denison explains. Read more
