About us

PURPOSE

A division of Global Tech Advocates, the Future of Work group (GTA FoW) is a global think tank of over 350 business leaders working across 18 countries, spanning the full organisational and functional spectrum representing a global workforce of over 10 million. As the age-old adage suggests, the only thing constant in life is change. Through our leadership, industry standing and collective resources, our aim is to help shine a light on the future way of working and suggest best practice, as we work toward a shared goal of creating a global workforce that succeeds from the individual employee to the employer.

With the goal of establishing ourselves as the foremost and trusted source of remote working knowledge worldwide, we help people and organisations succeed amid the global pandemic and make provisions for a post-pandemic world. We do this by sharing and creating content and research, commenting on, challenging, suggesting, and comparing information around how the future of work is evolving. Together we tackle emerging issues, promote discussion, and provide resources on remote, flexible and home working, as well as guide businesses on how to adapt. We partner to produce events that help drive positive personal and organisational change as the professional landscape continues to evolve.

GTA FoW Group stems from Tech London Advocates (TLA), which is a network of more than 10,000 tech leaders, entrepreneurs and experts in London, across the UK and in over 50 countries worldwide. Founded by Russ Shaw CBE and proudly independent, private sector-led, and not backed by government, Tech London Advocates (TLA) fundamentally believes that London is one of the world’s leading tech hubs.

VISION

Through our collaboration with future of work experts worldwide, we promote best practice and insights that are accessible to all – enabling both employees and companies to thrive, organisations to be more productive and making the workplace more inclusive.

OUR VALUES

As a group, we are driven by and aligned to the following collective values:

GTA Future of Work | Our Founders

Founded by Zoltan Vass and Louisa Steensma-Williamson during the height of the 2020 pandemic, the pair saw a need to help businesses navigate the unprecedented challenges they were facing as organisations were forced to shut office doors. Long-time advocates for flexible working and members of the Tech London Advocates, Zoltan and Louisa founded the GTA Future of Work Group through their own networks and the network of the TLA, which, despite its relatively short tenure to date, has grown exponentially into the global think tank of industry leaders it is today.

GTA Future of Work | Our Board

The role of the GTA Future of Work Board is to set the strategic direction of the Group and oversee overarching aims and output. Managed through monthly meetings, the Board reviews the group’s collaborative activities and agrees next steps based on our strategy and objectives. Made up of professional experts across their respective fields, Board members have been appointed based on their contribution, expertise and industry standing.
