Commemorating Labor Day 2023, I take a look at some key trends and challenges that have emerged over the past 30 years, including:
- How technology and work design choices have allowed leaders to shift risk from the company to individual workers.
- Why this has created great strain and weakened employee commitment, productivity, and willingness to continue working for the company at full capacity.
- How leaders need to rethink the subtext of the choices they make, not just the dollar amounts associated with different work design options.
