More diverse offices, a new form of collaboration between people and technology, flexibility to work and live well simultaneously and the much desired four-day week. These are changes that are already appearing and gaining ground in public and private discussions — and filling our sections here in the WIN World Newsroom.

Forbes magazine listened to experts and compiled a list of trends expected to influence how we work in 2023 and beyond. We couldn’t agree more. What about you?

2023: the future of work is now

• Career is no longer linear

“The old concept of career linearity has changed with digital acceleration. With this idea, even the presentation of the resume has changed – and employers value narratives in the presentation, with experiences, purpose, successes and failures.”

• Technology will need human skills – and a new mindset

“Benefits will be key to attracting talent – and flexible work, whether in terms of place or hours, is at the top of them, surveys indicate. Employees also tend to value health care, whether physical or mental.”

• Multigenerational offices are already a reality

“Workplaces in 2023 will be more diverse than ever in terms of age. A survey conducted by consultancy Ernst & Young with the Maturi platform showed that the group over 50 years old already represents 26% of the population. The forecast is that by 2040, 57% of the workforce in the country will be over 45.”

Other trends:

• A generation of professionals that doesn’t want to climb the career ladder

• Four-day week gains momentum around the world

• The metaverse experience is here to stay
