For the next three months, I plan to post a slide-a-day from the @MSFTResearch #NewFutureofWork report, calling out interesting tidbits and providing links to learn more. Find the complete report at: aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
An amazing amount of work went into producing the #NewFutureofWork report. I created a list so that you can follow all of the report authors on Twitter: twitter.com/i/lists/152121… Image
#Slide17: Priorities have shifted towards tighter integration of work and personal needs. E.g., the #WTI (microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/…) shows that many are more like to put family, personal life over work than before the pandemic. #Flexibility #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide78: Fast, reliable internet enabled 1/3 of the US workforce to WFH post-COVID, but many still don't have the necessary broadband. Proud of what Microsoft's doing (microsoft.com/en-us/corporat…) to close the rural broadband gap. #Airband #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide40: COVID made telepresence robots less exotic. There may be something to borrow from the #CSCW2016 telepresence experiment (cscw.acm.org/2016/attend/te…) given equity at hybrid conferences is top of mind following #CHI2022. #NewFutureofWork #MRP aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide21: #TGIF. Burnout's on the rise (see business.linkedin.com/glint/resource…), so make sure to take time off this weekend! But being disconnected from co-workers also contributes to burnout, so before EOD maybe reach out to someone to say hi? #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide97: @I_Am_NickBloom does great research into remote work and provided a #GuestForecast. He sees WFH growing as the tech improves, and there's significant innovation already underway as evidenced by patents (aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…). #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide64: Of all the misconceptions about hybrid, the biggest may be: "Where you work is a personal decision." Network effects make it shared. Hybird's also shown us *when* you work isn't personal. Teams must coordinate location AND hours. #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide93: A #GuestForecast from Jeremy Bailenson (@StanfordVR) predicts the future of the #metaverse is corporate training. What new skills might the metaverse unlock? E.g., what if you could safely practice dangerous or soft skills? #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide49: Hybrid work expands the opportunity for AI to augment human abilities. Microsoft's guidelines for Human-AI Interaction (microsoft.com/en-us/research…) give practical guidance for getting the relationship right. #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide16: Work+life has evolved from conflict -> balance -> integration. I intermixed the two a lot when my kids were little (e.g., slowsearching.blogspot.com/2013/05/attend…) and wonder how hybrid might have changed that experience. (Too much integration!?) #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide13: Factors like noise, temperature - even air quality - impact productivity and are closely controlled in the office. At home I like being able to keep my workspace a little warmer, but miss being protected from construction noise. #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide99: How much is WFH worth to you? @DrBenLaker finds people will forgo $4300/year. The four-day week is picking up steam, with 65% of UK businesses enabling it in some form (up from 50% in 2019). assets.henley.ac.uk/v3/fileUploads… #GuestForecast #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide37: I <3 in-meeting chat - it's my favorite COVID-induced change to meetings. Chat has pros and cons (see: microsoft.com/en-us/research…), but I particularly like being able to contribute to a conversation without fully taking the floor. #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide95: @ethanbernstein foresees more individualized paths for talent growth in his #GuestForecast. Side hustles will become mainstream, careers will become a patchwork of experiences. #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide34: Giving an #ICASSP2022 keynote today re: Teams' great AI-based noise suppression! But noise suppression can create the #LeafBlowerProblem, with one side distracted & not the other. Shared context makes for effective conversation. #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide89: What would you like to see considered as organizations explore new work models? Note: trying something != scientifically valid experimentation. That's why the #NewFutureofWork initiative's so useful: it provides much needed scientific context. aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide30: A tip for staying creative while remote: Try #brainwriting. Write some ideas down on your own, swap them with others, then write more. Video meetings inhibit idea production but are good for selecting which idea to pursue. #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide58: Research from the Microsoft Africa Research Institute (aka.ms/mari) highlights the importance of social relationships for SMBs post-covid. Tech adoption was guided by #SocioTecture, with social engagement at the fore. #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide15: Developers can be a fussy bunch, but the practice of gratitude is correlated with an increase in satisfaction and wellbeing. It may be hard right now, but what are you grateful for? The sunshine? Your team? A meeting-free Friday? #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide19: Has remote work been good or bad for your wellbeing? Research suggests the answer is mixed. Remote work can improve job satisfaction and positive emotion, but also contribute to guilt, isolation, and concerns about career growth. #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide94: The switch to a slide-based format for this year's #NewFutureofWork report was inspired by @nathanbenaich's State of AI report (stateof.ai). He offers a #GuestForecast, predicting AI assistants will revolutionize people's workflows. aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide47: A concern re: remote work is its impact on creativity. Hybrid work can help address if we use in-office time for brainstorming, but new technologies may also enable new forms of real-time - but remote - collaborative creativity. #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image
#Slide67: Real estate expenses = 10% of wage costs, which means a well-crafted workplace can pay for itself if it boosts productivity by >10%. Listen to @savagehouck bring this slide to life in just 90 seconds: microsoft.com/en-us/research… #NewFutureofWork aka.ms/nfw2022 Image

We've published a lot on #microproductivity (see: teevan.org/publications/s…). But while I keep meaning to extract the practical tips from our findings, I never seem to get around to it. Time to microtask the process! Pls help me out by sharing your own micro-writing tips. @iqbal_st
#microwriting tip: Make it easy to get started writing or editing by not expecting too much of yourself. Commit to doing just one simple thing. E.g.: Creating a doc and writing down one idea. Responding to just one comment. Often actually opening up the doc is half the battle!
#microwriting tip: Before taking a break, figure out what the first thing you'll do when you return. Set a trigger in your break (e.g., "before I leave Twitter to go browse another site") and revisit that thing when you hit the trigger. Repeat if you want a longer break.
