As some countries begin to emerge from the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the corporate engines of the “return to the office” begin to sound, an open question arises: What kinds of jobs will be the most in demand after months from work exile from home? And what jobs will top the list of future jobs for 2030, in this new job scenario?
In recent years, the Cognizant Center for the Future of Work has published a series of reports on the roles that will be most in demand in the future and propose new roles that will emerge over the next decade that will be critical for companies and employees across the world.
These will be the jobs of the future:
1. Work-from-home facilitator: Remote work is expected to continue to dominate the scene. Companies want to optimize the work-from-home experience. Far from being a futuristic job of tomorrow, facilitators have become “jobs of now”.
2. Fitness Engagement Counselor: To remediate the pounds we have gained during lockdown and the pandemic in general, predictive and preventative approaches to counseling, along with digital wearable devices such as Apple watches and FitBit dashboards, combine accountability human with the maintenance of physical form. It is a function that grew 28.7% in the first quarter of 21.
3. Smart Home Design Manager: Smart homes will grow as new homes are built or modernized, with dedicated home office spaces packed with routers, soundproofing, voice-controlled independent entrances and even wall displays .
4. XR Immersive Advisor: The need for virtual space means that these advisors have to work with technical artists and software engineers, to ensure that training and workforce collaboration leads to massively scaling AR and VR deployment in the work environment so that employees are more productive.
5. Workplace Architect: The importance of employee well-being and how real estate design affects us will now and in the future be crucial to the future of work.
