Jonathan Phillips and Sharon O'Dea challenge Western assumptions about the future of work in their conversation with Janet Hitchen and Mike Klein exploring how demographic shifts in Japan and elsewhere in the world drive global workforce innovation. They examine digital nomadism as economic necessity rather than lifestyle choice, question corporate rigidity amid demands for agility, and critique return-to-office mandates that risk losing top talent.
