Trends for the Future of Education with Jeff Selingo

Welcome to Work Better, the podcast where we think about work and ways to make it better. 

A new set of priorities is gaining traction with business leaders around the world. When asked, what workspace issues will be more important in the next year, the answers revealed new perspectives are gaining momentum. Employee wellbeing tops the list and has been considered important for years. Now sustainability, followed closely by diversity, equity and inclusion, have emerged as top issues. These topics are hardly new. But they always lived further down the list of choices leaders need to make – things that were important, but not as urgent. Now that’s changed.

This season on Work Better, we hope to inspire you with new ways of thinking about how to design better futures for people and the planet. We fundamentally believe organizations can have a bigger impact if we collectively take action.
