Comparing the digital transformations of work and society through international benchmarks has become increasingly popular to monitor performance, raise awareness of gaps and drive strategic policy change for different labour market actors.

However, established theoretical approaches do not tell the full story. This symposium will outline a novel framework of digital futures at work, challenging and building on established practical and theoretical approaches.

This symposium will be featuring eminent speakers and expert panellists:

Prof Jacqueline O’Reilly, Co-Director, Digital Futures at Work Research Centre, University of Sussex Business School
Liam Byrne, Future of Work and Unionism Project Coordinator, Australian Council of Trade Unions.
Prof Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, Heller School for Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University, Massachusetts

This symposium is hosted by the Department of Management at Monash Business School and Department of Management and Marketing at the University of Melbourne, in honour of the late Joe Isaac, AO, FASSA.
