So now we hear we are going to live till 100, work till we’re 80, that robots will be doing many of the professional jobs we’ve taken for granted and that we will have to share the workforce with five generations. When we're thinking about career planning how do we adapt and prepare for a very different workplace future?

All About Women: Women in the New Economy

We’ve spent a long time trying to close the pay gap and break the glass ceiling to create more opportunities for women. But some of the most interesting research in recent years has shown that organisations with women in leadership are more innovative and perform better financially.
