Renegotiating Work: Balancing Workplace Demands in Uncertain Times

The expectations of mutual commitment that once anchored work have frayed, as employers offer less long-term stability and employees change jobs more often. Flexibility is key to both sides: Workers want more control over when, where and how they work, while companies seek the best ways to weather volatile markets, rapid technology changes and soaring benefit costs.

As employers restructure work to add value to the bottom line as well as attract and retain talent, are there defined pathways and proven models they should be following?

Our 2026 Frontiers of Business Conference will convene corporate executives, top researchers and policy leaders to share objective, evidence-based solutions for renegotiating work and balancing workplace demands in uncertain times.
