New Future of Work
9:00 AM–12:00 PM PDT (inclusive of breaks)
Location: Virtual/Online
Join us on social with #NFW2020
The coronavirus pandemic has significantly disrupted information work across the globe. The rapid and prolonged shift to remote work from home is producing transformational change that will undoubtedly have long-term implications. The new reality of distributed information work challenges and inspires us to revolutionize our work practices and technologies to support the sustainable and robust distribution of people, resources, and knowledge.
There is an urgent need for the research community to come together to address the challenges to productivity, wellbeing, and society that people and organizations are facing. The goal of this virtual symposium on The New Future of Work was to provide an open forum to explore where we have come from and to suggest where we should go. It was a venue to share timely and novel research on currently disrupted or evolving work practices, to reflect on how past findings shed light on the current situation, and to prepare for a world in which work may be done very differently.
The event is now over but much of our content is available on-demand:
- The videos for the Opening and Closing Keynotes, the Invited Plenary, and the Inclusion Panel are available on the Open Symposium Content page.
- Most papers are also available for download and many have accompanying video presentations. Please see the Publications page for details.
