Course Description

ACCREDITATION:
Upon completion you will become Certified Expert in The Future of Work

You will study the possible problems associated with rising workplace automation and intrusive monitoring technologies in this course on “The Future of Work: Self-employment, the Gig Economy, and Workers’ Rights”. ​

In recent years, workplace automation and monitoring technologies have become more prevalent. It seems as though the Covid-19 pandemic-related circumstances have accentuated this pattern. As a result of this evolution, important issues about worker safety on the job, proper data governance, and digital training have come to light.

You will also discover the effects that these workplace changes have had on employees’ physical and mental health, how to protect employees from these changes’ potential negative effects, and how these changes will affect employment structures in the future.

The expert contributions in this course come from the United Kingdom – including prestigious academic institutions, industry, a workers’ trade union, industry associations, and thought-leading think tanks.
