What is the metaverse? How might it affect the way we work? And what does it mean for those starting out in their careers?
These are the questions host Kathryn and guest Mira explore in today’s episode, as well as considering the advantages and potential pitfalls of the technology and how we can ensure it’s fair and ethical for users.
It’s a bit of a different episode for us, this may be a topic you’ve not engaged with before and we wanted to focus on building understanding and exploring key questions before we have more discussions about the future of work – let us know what you think!
Thanks to Kathryn Eastwood (EY Foundation Director of Income and Employer Partnerships) and Mira Pijselman (Digital Ethics Lead for EY UK&I and a 2023 finalist for Thought Leader Consultant of the Year by the Management Consultancies Association) for this illuminating discussion.
