How Organizations Can Become Project-Based In The Future Of Work
Co-Founder and Chief Talent Officer at FlexTeam and Chief Experience Officer at Liquid. The nature of work is changing: Companies are increasingly thinking of work as project-based rather than role-based.

Project-based work has clear goals, milestones and deliverables and a defined start and end date.
Building mental resilience for the future of work
HR leaders must invest in mental health resources and continue to have open and honest conversations with employees around mental wellbeing. In March 2020, we witnessed a massive transition that would transform the future of work. Workplaces immediately shifted to remote work — in some cases, over the course of a weekend —to protect the health and safety of their workers.
How leadership style must change for the new world of work

Developing new work models
Broaden work and the workforce Instead of atomizing jobs into pieces, an alternative is to broaden them so that the focus is on the broad outcomes to be achieved or problems to be solved. With latitude in defining the “how” of work in pursuit of broad objectives, employees get the opportunity to take on bigger, more integrated roles and responsibilities that often cross functional boundaries and enable them to develop new skills and gain experience. For decades, businesses have gradually embraced worker empowerment, with the move to DevOps, agile, intrapreneurship, teams of teams with distributed control and centralized coordination, self-management, edge-centric decision-making, and “teal organizations” all signaling a direction away from rigid jobs. Many organizations have broadened roles for limited periods of time—for example, through Hackathons, IdeaJams, and Google’s famous “20 percent time” for engineers to spend time on any project they feel will most benefit the company.

The Future Of Work Is Employee Well-Being
As remote working blurs the line between work and life, HR leaders are prioritizing employee well-being and mental health. This focus on nurturing employee well-being is critical to developing workplace resilience. The Future Workplace 2021 HR Sentiment survey found that 68% of senior HR leaders (of which 40% were CHROs) rated employee well-being and mental health as a top priority. It’s no wonder this is a priority for HR leaders as the corporate well-being market is now estimated to be $20.4 Billion in the U.S. and is forecasted to grow to $87.4 Billion by 2026. In our recent Future Workplace Virtual Summit attended by senior leaders in HR, Talent, and Corporate Learning, we polled leaders on what their organization has done to focus on employee well-being. We learned that nearly 70% of our members are offering workplace flexibility.
