Best in Future of Work
This award recognizes the organization that rethinks the way works get done. The Future of Work is a fundamental shift in the work model to one that fosters human-machine collaboration, enables new skills and worker experiences, and supports a secure location- and device-agnostic virtual workspace and reimagined physical workplace. Work transformation is critical for effectively scaling digital transformation initiatives.

The winner of this category must demonstrate at least one of the following:
- Adopting “digital worker” technologies (i.e., AI, robotics, process automation, AR/VR), fostering human-machine collaboration. Human workers operate side by side with “digital co-workers,” augmenting human capabilities.
- Enabling a work culture that encourages continuous innovation and a new type of organizational agility; has outcome-focused leadership style and culture that shows empathy, empowerment, frictionless engagement, and speed; deploys digital technology to offer upskilling/reskilling and career development opportunities to all employees.
