Enthusiastic as we are at TomorrowToday about all things new, the results were not as uplifting as we might have hoped! Ten years is a long time to have the best recollection, but nonetheless, with two-thirds of managers reporting higher workloads and half admitting to being more stressed, it’s a strong reflection not only of the economic climate but also of a pressing need for change. Nearly a third wished mobile phones had never been invented, which surely represents a tragic misuse of the amazing technology that is now available to us. We can’t ‘uninvent’ – nor should we want to – but with the help of Generation Y and Z, we must grasp the opportunity to harness technology to our benefit in the New World of Work.
