Abstract
As we transition out of the pandemic, enjoying more flexible workplaces and worktimes, a bright future seems ahead for employees and employers. However, studies show that job types and industries determine choice, that remuneration policies often favour on-site over remote options, and that increasing the flexibility of working hours can affect the workforce’s well-being. New skills and behaviours are needed in the use of technology and in leadership, and different aspects, compared to before the pandemic, may influence the career choices of the next-generation workforce. In these new circumstances, Business Schools are invited to adapt their curricula and companies might envision an update of their in-company continuous learning and development programmes to allow for these new workplaces and learning scenarios to become more sustainable. This study adopts an abductive approach to literature review which entwines literature and first-hand experience to identify lessons for business schools and beyond. The findings of this piece call for a more serious prioritisation of Decent Work (SDG8) for equal opportunities, equal pay, and well-being.
