From digital disruptions to global pandemics, we are witnessing a seismic shift in the employer-employee relationship across the board. This is a workquake. What employers need and what employees want has evolved; however, we have yet to build a model and a contract that feels safe and inspirational to both parties.
The Workquake mission is to build a better, more honest, employer-employee relationship that works for the needs of today. Using real examples of people and companies, Steve Cadigan lays out a mindset and strategies that will allow both employer and employee to move from a headspace of anxiety to one of growth and success.

Praise for Workquake
“The old contract of work is dead. Workquake will challenge you to pursue learning agility over job security and to paradoxically build a company culture that prepares people to leave.”
The future has never been more uncertain for both employers and employees.
They face the same profoundly unsettling dilemma: neither know what skills they need to develop for the future. Futurists and the media tell us that over 50 percent of jobs today will soon be replaced by automation and AI.
Turnover is higher than it has ever been. The percentage of the workforce that is actively disengaged has never been higher. The shelf lives of certain skills are diminishing rapidly. Longstanding industries and industry leaders are being disrupted. These staggering changes are challenging our concepts of what a career really looks like today and how we should build organizations going forward.
This is the workquake.
It’s time we change the conversation. It’s time to talk about how being human has never been more critical and how we have more agency in applying our talents than at any other time in history. We need to have more real and honest conversations about how to build a better model of the future of work, one in which both employers and employees feel safe and energized.
COVID-19 has presented us with the ideal opportunity to tackle this important challenge. Workquake is an attempt to articulate a compelling vision for the future of work through a number of stories, case studies, and author Steve Cadigan’s own experiences.
