Many of the recruitment tools we use today were created during the industrial revolution. Our workforce has changed dramatically since then and the trends that are continuing to shape it give us an insight into some great ways we can futureproof our businesses.

Te Radar chats with Izzy Fenwick, founder of Futureful, New Zealand’s first values-led and skills-based recruitment platform. They discuss why now is the ideal time to consider how we can futureproof our work, along with the trends that are shaping the direction of the workforce. Izzy will also explore the challenges people face when thinking about the future and how Futureful aims to assist businesses in securing their future.

Izzy's expertise lies at the intersection of human behaviour and corporate
sustainability.

She is the founder of Futureful, New Zealand’s first values-led and skills-based recruitment platform. Futureful is on a mission to mainstream corporate sustainability by including ESG (environmental, social, governance) commitments in the recruitment process.

With her background in human-centred design, she previously served as the Sustainability Design Principal at DNA Design.

Izzy also serves on the board of The Aotearoa Circle; an organisation that brings together public and private sector leaders to pursue sustainable prosperity and reverse the decline of New Zealand's natural resources. Izzy is a fellow of the NEXT Foundation and has spent time speaking about sustainability and the future of work on local and global stages.
