The future
With a helmet
In search of the best working environments and hours after the pandemic, companies are thinking of the metaverse in order to keep employees engaged. Especially the youngest, accustomed to this virtual universe in their video games. Yahoo Finance quotes an architect who finds it easier to dive into this parallel reality for organizations to make changes to their culture or their offices than in reality! Clients choose to transport a replica of their offices to places far from their headquarters in town and invite their employees to happy hours in exotic locations. “We did a lot of research with people internally and externally, and what came up the most in the comments was the exterior environment and the view,” says architect Guy Messick, CEO technology from AI Interior Architects.

Head of diversity and inclusion jobs are the second fastest growing job, according to LinkedIn, after “vaccine specialists.” “From 2015 to 2020, LinkedIn found that the number of people with the title of ‘diversity officer’ doubled, while ‘diversity director’ increased 75% and ‘head of diversity”, by 68%”, we read on the site of the recruitment firm Odgers Berndtson. But in many cases, nothing is settled after they are hired. For several reasons: because their mandate is too short while a corporate culture takes time to transform, they are limited in their actions, companies do not know their situation in terms of diversity and inclusion, and they are more in a “corrective” approach than in a “large-scale change” perspective.
