| Monthly Highlights, June 2021 |
The pandemic has changed how we live and work, but most organizations don’t have a detailed vision in place for the hybrid working model of the future. This month, our featured stories look at how the pandemic may reshape the future of work, consumer behavior, and productivity and growth over the next several years—and what business leaders and policy makers can do to guard against an uneven economic recovery—as well as how executives are thinking about the particulars of hybrid work. Other highlights in this month’s issue explore the following topics:- The pandemic’s impact on working mothers
- Building a more inclusive US economy
- The challenges confronting Asian Americans in the workplace
- How companies are rethinking the role of digital technology in their business strategy
- What’s next for air travel
