Institute for the Future of Work

Who we are

Our mission is to shape a fairer future through better work.

Our goal is a good society in which everyone can flourish through this new technological revolution.

Our belief is that creating and sustaining good work is the best way to achieve this goal and ensure that innovation and social good advance together.

We work at the intersections of governance, civil society and industry to build, through good work, a good society in which everyone can flourish through this new technological revolution. 

Work and working lives are changing faster than ever before. There are three core challenges that this presents, and our programmes are set up to meet each of these:

1. Changing work - The risks and rewards of transition are not evenly spread meaning that structural inequalities are increasing.
2. Shifting power - New technologies are driving big shifts in power and challenging traditional mechanisms of governance and accountability at work.
3. Prioritising people - People’s lived experience, values and agency are being neglected in shaping futures of work
