It's hard to stay up-to-date on all the amazing future of work research that is happening right now. So, working with people around Microsoft, we put together a deck summarizing the research on the many ways work is changing: aka.ms/nfw2022 #newfutureofwork

Research into post-covid work makes one thing crystal clear: Productivity isn't just about getting more done. As work moves hybrid, workplaces must center wellbeing, relationships, and innovation. New piece by @spjaffe, @bhecht and me in HBR today: hbr.org/2021/09/lets-redefin…

Thoughts on getting job applications through AEA JOE vs econjobmarket? I found econjobmarket pretty annoying and am tempted to switch, but it had some useful features, so I could imagine AEA JOE is worse. #EconTwitter

How will our understanding of work habits this past year help us transition to a model that combines the best of remote & in-person work? @jteevan & @bhecht kick off the discussion in the series opener of The New Future of Work edition of the #MSRPodcast: aka.ms/AAczw14

For ~10months, I’ve worked with people across MSFT on the effects of COVID & WFH on work practices. We released a large summary of the findings, e.g. employees whose managers helped them re-prioritize were 2.5x more likely to report good work-life balance aka.ms/nfwewfutureofwork
