#193 - Transitioning Into a New World of Work with Jane Oates of WorkingNation

This week's episode is all about how economies and industry are transitioning into a new world of work. We throwback to a recording from last year with Jane Oates from WorkingNation where we talk about everything from massive investment in training employees, how working cultures are not interchangeable, and why supporting each other through change is important. These are all subjects that have been thrust into the foreground by Coronavirus in a way that has made us sit up and listen more urgently than any discussion on automation has before.

Plus, an update from our listeners on how teaching, learning and remote work have developed a few months on from operating in a world with Coronavirus.
