ABSTRACT
Advances in computing technology, changing policies, and slow
crises are rapidly changing the way we work. Human-computer
interaction (HCI) is a critical aspect of these trends, to understand
how workers contend with emerging technologies and how design
might support workers and their values and aspirations amidst
technological change. This SIG invites HCI researchers across di-
verse domains to refect on the range of approaches to future of
work research, recognize connections and gaps, and consider how
HCI can support workers and their wellbeing in the future.
CCS CONCEPTS
• Human-centered computing → Human computer interac-
tion (HCI); Empirical studies in HCI.

1 INTRODUCTION
Rapid advancements in computing technology, ever-changing eco-
nomic and political factors, and ongoing crises such as the COVID-
19 pandemic and climate change are intertwining to radically change
where and how people work, and the HCI community has a cen-
tral role to play in shaping the future of work. Many people are
currently working and collaborating remotely, driven by the pan-
demic but also in pursuit of greater fexibility and less commute
time [2, 18]. Looking at essential work, however, such as healthcare
and sanitation professions, we see the intensifcation of in-person
