Future of Work Survey

Calgary is one of the most business-friendly cities in Canada yet it does not appear in global rankings related to dynamics, innovation, and long-term economic growth. This is the result of oil and gas boom-and-bust cycles that have impeded Calgary’s ability to adequately prepare for 4IR technologies and the future of work. Decision-makers lack reliable data that enables them to understand the short and long-term implications of their actions across sectors. After identifying gaps in the accuracy and relevance of Future of Work reports, the Calgary Hub is launching "the Future of Work survey" which will shed light on the city’s current level of preparedness for the 4IR. The results of the survey will be utilized by our partner organizations (including the municipal government, post-secondary institutions, consultancies, etc.) to help Calgary better prepare for the 4IR.
