3 relevant future-of-work topics journalists are covering today

1. Pitches about AI in the workplace:

AI tools are revolutionizing various industries, automating routine tasks, and augmenting human capabilities. However, concerns surrounding job displacement and the need for up-skilling and re-skilling to adapt to the changing landscape are also important considerations. 

2. Pitches about Gen Z's impact on the workplace:

As natives of the digital workplace, Gen Z brings a unique perspective on technology, collaboration, and remote work. They value work-life balance, purpose-driven work, and supportive work environments. Pitches about Gen Z's preferences — unique benefits, emphasizing meaningful work, and work that provides opportunities for growth and development — are landing.

3. Pitches about the long-term effects of the pandemic on work-life balance and happiness:

Employers are now recognizing the importance of employee well-being and prioritizing mental health support, flexible work arrangements, and creating inclusive and supportive work cultures to enhance happiness, BAM's word of the year.
