Career professionals are swaying to the future of work, to thrive in their roles and workplaces.
During 2020, the intense stressors of remote work sent many professionals to a panic state. But 17 months since the pandemic started, those professionals may now languish. They handle their responsibilities well and don’t feel despair, but they don’t necessarily thrive.
According to workplace futurist Denise Brouder, swaying to the future of work helps people remain effective on the job…and joyful.
Denise is also the co-founder of SWAY. Throughout the pandemic, she and her team gathered insight to understand how professionals adjusted to their highly disrupted workplaces.
