Reasons to be Cheerful with Ed Miliband & Geoff Lloyd
News:Politics
Hello! Advances in technology are enabling new ways to monitor and manage people at work. How can we ensure workers don’t lose out from the rise of ‘algorithmic management’? Future of work expert Beth Gutelius tells us about a Californian law cracking down on issues in the warehouse industry. Then Anna Thomas from the Institute for the Future of Work and Mary Towers from the TUC talk us through the scale of the problem in the UK and what do to about it.
AND we chat to Tim Burgess about the new book inspired by his wildly popular Twitter Listening Parties.
