#55: State of the Industry – How Modern Workforce Intelligence is Shaping the Future of Work

This week we welcome Ben Zweig to the podcast. With a Ph.D. in Economics, Ben currently teaches a course on “the Future of Work” at NYU’s Stern School of Business, and serves as CEO of Revelio Labs, a workforce intelligence consultancy he founded in 2018.

Topics include: economics, the basic definition of “work,” the value of viewing jobs as a bundle of work activities and people as bundles of skills, the trouble with understanding jobs as collections of skills, the difficulty of quantifying the output or profitability of individual employees, the forces shaping the future of work, the difference between workforce intelligence and talent intelligence, the variety of available external data sources, why social profiles are foundational to workforce analytics, choosing the right benchmarks vs. choosing the right metrics, and approaches to evaluating the quality of external data sources, and generative AI and the future of recruiting
