Focus
The Davies Institute is committed to supporting leaders and communities at every step of the workforce transformation journey.
Artificial Intelligence & Automation
The Davies Institute is exploring the profound role of AI and digital systems in redesigning work, from algorithmic management to workplace automation and smart tools that impact productivity, opportunity, and worker agency.
Work Transitions & Reskilling
Developing strategies for supporting people as they adjust to technological disruption: lifelong learning, upskilling/reskilling, motivation, and pathways to new careers. We believe successful adaptation is possible only if individuals and organisations are empowered with the right information, motivation, and support.
Accessibility & Inclusion
Addressing systemic and technological barriers and creating equitable opportunities in work, ensuring everyone – including workers from marginalised communities or with accessibility needs – thrives alongside technological change. The future of work must be accessible to all.
Regional & Community Networks
Understanding how place-based innovation and empowered communities help shape the future of work, emphasising local empowerment and stakeholder engagement. Our place in the world matters and The Davies Institute applies this lens to every research initiative.
Environmental & Sustainability Factors
Connecting the dots between the green transition, climate, and the evolution of the workforce, we look at how work can support sustainability and vice versa. We see work and sustainability as deeply entwined issues in Europe’s future.
Future Work Models & Organisational Structures
Examining the KPIs of remote work, hybrid teams, the platform/gig economy, and the future of workplace governance, representation, and protections. The Davies Institute addresses not only what work will be, but also how and where it will be done.
