Microsoft 365 leader Jared Spataro returns to the WorkLab podcast to share key insights from the company’s second annual Work Trend Index . This special report is based on findings from a survey of 31,000 people across multiple industries in 31 countries, along with an analysis of trillions of anonymized productivity signals in Microsoft 365 and labor trends on LinkedIn.
Spataro is the fourth guest for Season 2 of Microsoft’s WorkLab podcast, in which host Elise Hu has conversations with economists, technologists, and researchers who explore data and insights into why and how work is changing.
Three big takeaways from this conversation:
To go deeper into the theme of the transforming workforce, we also talk to Stephanie Nadi Olson, founder of We Are Rosie, which has assembled a workforce of thousands of marketing experts who can be connected with companies for short-term or long-term projects and commitments. She explains how embracing flexibility can help companies tap into a large and diverse talent pool that isn’t working full time right now.
WorkLab is a place for experts to share their insights and opinions. As students of the future of work, Microsoft values inputs from a diverse set of voices. That said, the opinions and findings of the experts we interview are their own and do not reflect Microsoft’s own research or opinions.
