Episode 36: The Robots are Coming! With Jeff Wald

Send us a text Join Kyle as he speaks with Jeff Wald about the future of work, data analysis, and Mr. T (eat your vegetables).  Jeff is the Founder of WorkMarket (purchased by ADP in 2018), and several other technology companies, including Spinback, a social sharing platform (eventually purchased by Salesforce.com), an angel investor and startup advisor, and serves on numerous public and private Boards of Directors. I’m reaching out about having him on your show. Based on hundreds of formal interviews with CEOs, HR executives, and political leaders, The End of Jobs: The Rise of On-Demand Workers and Agile Corporations guides readers through the history of work to understand how companies and workers reacted to the last three industrial revolutions. Jeff asks what lessons we can learn from these revolutions and the current state of the labor market and in order for workers, companies and societies to prepare for the Rise of the Robots. Recently Jeff announced the $10 million Future of Work Prize. Twenty leading thinkers of the future of work have shared their vision for the workforce in 2040. Each contributor, selected for their leadership in studying and shaping how the world works, was asked to provide an essay for the book’s inclusion. In making the announcement, Jeff said, “I was blown away by the insight, vision and predicative powers of the contributors.  They paint very different visions of the future... I could not be prouder that they are a part of this great book and I look forward to awarding one of the authors the $10 million Future of Work Prize.” https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffwald https://twitter.com/JeffreyWald https://posthillpress.com/authors/jeff-wald https://www.jeffwald.com/ Rebel HR is a podcast for HR professionals and leaders of people who are ready to make some disruption in the world of work.
