In episode 14 of Better@Work, we chat with two leading experts on the future of work, Lawrence Goldstone and Caitlin Guilfoyle. Many of the solutions for the future of work are vague when they’re not tied to an example e.g. ‘Upskilling’, ‘True self’, ‘Purpose’: Plus, these concepts are all journeys (maybe even journeys that don’t have measurable endings). Lawrence and Caitlin provide practical and tangible ways to get ready for the future of work. This is a no jargon approach with insights into 1) What we need to do as individuals to get ready for the future of work? 2) What organisations need to consider and change? and 3) Hybrid work, the pros, the cons and everything in between. Lawrence Goldstone is a Partner at PwC Australia, and leads the firms Future of Work agenda and Signature Experience program, ‘The Outside’. He is passionate around disruptive models of change and bringing new perspectives to Executives and Boards, Lawrence brings over 25 years local and international experience and is an expert in strategic problem solving, collaborative design, employee engagement and communications. Caitlin Guilfoyle is one of Australia’s leading Future of Work voices and specialists. Caitlin is a Future of Work Leader at PwC Australia, with over 15 years’ experience in roles within public and private enterprise both in Australia and overseas. Caitlin develops research and thought leadership on the market trends that affect organisations and people, as well as supporting leadership teams, to help them prepare for their future of work.
