    Digital HRDigital TransformationThe future of work at Facebook

    The future of work at Facebook

    Cyrus Akrami, Head of Market Development at Workplace, Facebook spoke exclusively to HRD Connect about what he anticipates the future of work to be.

    Author Date published July 2, 2018 Categories

    The future of work

    The future of work is a minefield, no-one quite knows what it’ll be or how to identify it. Akrami asked the question; “Would your children like to work at your company?” and how can we create an environment that infuses passion into employees and makes them love their jobs.

    “It’s important for people to understand how technology can help them to get their work done.”

    Challenges

    Akrami discusses the challenges faced, and what they at Workplace hear about regularly, he discusses the need to engage people on all different platforms and accommodating needs on all different levels. He also mentions consumerisation, which he details further in our exclusive interview below.
