Ron is joined by Simon Chan VP, Talent, Academy and Future of Work at Communitech and Christine Robinson Head of Human Resources at Manulife to discuss taking a human-centered and community based approach to tackling the future of work. Communitech and Manulife have partnered in Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada to lead the formation of a community coalition of stakeholders (private sector, academia, and government) which is the first of its kind in Canada to address the challenges posed by the disruptive trends impacting the workforce. In their process they convened community meetings, interviewed workers, held workshops, and crowdsourced community based solutions for those likely to be impacted by these upcoming changes. They also shared their vision for how this innovative community based approach could be scaled to other communities with the ultimate goal of building healthy organizations and resilient communities.
