Dr Ben Hamer and the Future of Work



Futurist Ben Hamer predicts the future of work to 2030! 


Key takeouts 


In Oz - unemployment is low  4.1%, with a diverse and multicultural workforce, 


The aging workforce is a challenge, with Gen Z (1997-2012) making up 25% of our workers, but not enough talent to fill critical roles.


There is a great opportunity in finding talent from a large migrant population from India, many currently working below their skill level.


🤖 AI Adoption & Literacy:

  • Only 2 in 5 Australians use AI regularly, with 1/3 concerned about job loss. 

But

  • embracing AI is crucial—those who do and will will be more productive and future-ready.
  • AI will be a great enabler to those that use it 


💡 What Workers Want:

  • Pay is the top priority for 71%, followed by good leadership (60%). Flexibility and wellbeing matter, but career development only ranks for 36% of workers

Workers just want good pay andd to not work for a dick!!


🔄 Challenges in Change: #f#ck transformation 

  • Transformation is difficult; unnecessary change breeds resistance. 
  • Nearly half (47%) of workers plan to change employers in 2025, citing disengagement and overtime burnout.


🚫 Opting Out of Management:

  • 58% of people are avoiding management roles, preferring not to deal with the stress of leading others.


The landscape is shifting—are you prepared to navigate these changes?
