\nLONDON, UK. February 25th, 2025<\/strong> – A new global report is set to be released on 10th March to mark the fifth anniversary of the world going into lockdown and calls for the creation of a new global body, The World Work Organization.<\/a>\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\nThe United State of Work<\/em><\/a> is edited by Julia Hobsbawm, Founder and CEO of the work trends network Workathon,<\/a> and combines essays and analysis from some of the world\u2019s leading players in future-of-work insight with new global research and a call to action to encourage countries to invest in a single institution akin to the creation of the World Health Organisation after the Second World War.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Julia Hobsbawm says: \u201cWork unites us: each day 3.5 billion people work or are looking for work. Other than being born, dying, or searching daily on Google, more people work than they do anything else. What the world of work needs now is a new framework about how we govern, lead, and organise work.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u201cFrom the economy to climate to geopolitics to AI and of course, people, workplace, and culture, everything connects to work. Yet work is all too often seen in fragmented contexts, addressed in single-issue silos. Policymakers, executives, and leaders risk missing vital patterns and progress to learn from and act upon.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u201c2025 has echoes of 1945: A time of rebuild and re-imagination on a global scale is required around work and workplace issues. This is why, at Workathon, we\u2019re setting up The World Work Organization (WWO)<\/a> to encourage countries to invest in a single institution, which is\u00a0 dedicated to addressing work in all its complexity and which is above all human centric. We must unite around the challenges ahead in a totally different way to before.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
With a foreword by Professor Nicholas Bloom of Stanford University, The United State of Work<\/em> is a report of two halves. The first is a literary flashback to March 2020 and frames its impact on working life with essays which explore trends, workplace, technology, wellbeing, leadership, and global attitudes.<\/div>\n
