The Future-Proof Career

Will AI replace us? Is my toxic boss an actual narcissist? Are full stops in emails a sign of hostility? How do I manage intergenerational tension and not get cancelled?

‘Motivational and inspiring… the one book you need to plan your next move’ – Viv Groskop

The way we’re working in a post-pandemic world is forever changed. This is a book about how to make working work for you; packed with expert analysis examining ahead-of-the-curve trends as well as the old habits we need to lose. Split into two sections – Staff and Managers – it can be dipped into whether you’re the boss, the deputy or on your way up at any stage of your career.

Covering topics as wide-ranging as the four-day working week, micro-dosing for creativity, extended paternity, habit changing to boost productivity and meaningful diversity talk, The Future-Proof Career spreads the word so we can all have happier, more productive lives.
