About the Book

THRIVE IN THE FUTURE OF WORK provides a journey through the realities, implications and solutions for the rapidly changing world of work we live in today. It is not trying to be the remedy for future of work success. It is a practical account of what we know so far from those who have been there - and both a guide and an invitation for you to explore what your path will be towards future of work readiness and fulfilment. The book is presented in four parts across 10 chapters. Each chapter provides a mix of facts, research, case studies, tools and prompts to help readers address the question of what they can do in practical terms to help future-proof themselves and ytheir organisations in the changing world of work. Part 1: "The Changing World of Work and the Agility Challenge" examines the shifts and trends apparent in the world of work and how they have intensified in recent years. We explore what the Future of Work means in practical terms and how can it be broken down at individual and organisational level. The case for Agility as a core capability for future of work readiness is discussed and we explore the challenges and benefits of Agility and how it can be managed. Part 2: "Future-Fit and Future-Ready" focuses on Future of Work readiness and Agility at the individual level. We look at the elements and benefits of an agile mindset - and skillset - and how these can help to proactively manage uncertainty and change with purpose and confidence. The research-based elements of personal agility are explored to demonstrate how individuals can - and already are - successfully navigating the challenges and opportunities presented by the changing world of work. Part 3: "The Future-Ready Organisation" explores the practical realities and implications of the Future of Work at the wider organisational level. We discuss the emergence of a New Employment Deal, as well its implications, challenges and opportunities for leaders, employees and for HR. We look at the future role of the leader and of HR in shaping the new world of work. Part 4: "A Call to Action for the Future" examines the emerging choices for navigating the Future of Work at the societal level, especially in relation to areas such as ESG, education and employment policy. We explore what is needed from all of us as a society to proactively create a work environment where no one is left behind and for "good work" to thrive into the future. Finally, Your Call to Action summaries the key messages from the book and outlines five practical steps readers can take in navigating their own path into the Future of Work.

Review :
THRIVE in the Future of Work is a ticket to a transforming future. All you have to do is read it, do what Kevin recommends and find yourself free to define your own life and work, no longer an underpaid slave to a distant boss but master of your own life and destiny. This book should be read by everybody (especially everyone under 50) interested in shaping the future world of work for themselves and others. It will change their lives and ultimately change the world we live in. It is that important. Charles Handy, best-selling author of The Empty Raincoat and The Elephant and the Flea Kevin Empey has done a masterful job of folding the future into the present in one of the most prevalent settings in life: our work and working life. By focusing on the rapidly-changing nature of the Future of Work, Kevin builds a compelling case for embracing agility for the uncertain and changing business world. With the logic, insights, tools, and examples contained in this book, mastering agility will turn threat and uncertainty into future opportunity and daily practice. Bravo! Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor of Business, Ross School of Business / Partner, The RBL Group The Future of Work is not only about "work;" it is also about our human condition and our society as a whole. Kevin addresses this elegantly in this highly informative book and provides hugely valuable insight for anyone rethinking their strategy and wishing to be prepared for that future. John Herlihy, ex-VP Google and ex-VP EMEA & LATAM, LinkedIn In tackling the practical realities and implications of the Future of Work, Kevin Empey's book demystifies the skills needed for business and personal agility which are such critical and strategic topics across industry today. James O'Connor, VP, Microsoft International Operations Kevin Empey is a leader in the Future of Work debate and this book again takes his work to the international stage. It combines both academic research and practitioner insight in a highly readable way. The need for personal agility to thrive in the new world of work is clearly presented and the book is full of practical advice on how to prepare for the future world of work. I strongly recommend this book. Patrick Flood, Professor of Organizational Behavior, Dublin City University Business School The world of work is changing rapidly. Kevin's book skillfully navigates us through the practical implications of these changes and how we can thrive in the future. THRIVE in the Future of Work contains a powerful blend of facts, research, case studies and tools, all underpinned by a clear focus on acting with purpose and agility. This is an important read for all of us in business and in the people profession. Peter Cheese, Chief Executive, CIPD As events in recent years have proven, the uncertain nature of our future is one of the only certain things in life. What Kevin has so eloquently brought to life in his book is the understanding that, for all of us, the Future of Work is essentially about agility and how we build agility into our organizational and individual lives. Evan Leybourn, Co-Founder and CEO, Business Agility Institute
