Description
Summary:•Occupational.•Decision-making.•Occupational health.•Organizational design.•Robotics. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) play a major role in the current evolution of work. They are both a great tool for emancipating human beings from the most tedious and most dangerous tasks and an effective vector for intensifying work. On the basis of three foresight exercises carried out in recent years and by describing concrete examples of work organizations, the authors highlight the main possible trends for the changes to come. They conclude on a few general principles that could allow the establishment of a win–win policy.
