Resources Hub

Artificial intelligence is changing how work is organised, evaluated, and experienced — often faster than workers can reasonably adapt. This Resource Hub is built with workers in mind, bringing together practical, evidence-based resources that focus on well-being, rights, and resilience rather than hype or technical abstraction. The aim is not to optimize productivity, but to help people understand the pressures they’re facing and navigate them with greater clarity and support.

Flagship Reports & Briefs

Key research to help you understand which sectors, tasks, and roles are most exposed to automation — and how to assess risk intelligently.

• IMF – “Gen-AI: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work” (2024)
  Global analysis of exposure to generative AI across 160+ economies, with insights on complementarity vs. substitution and policy levers for inclusive growth.

Workers’ Well-Being & Mental Health

• Mindfulness—focusing on the present moment without judgment—can reshape brain regions tied to attention and emotion regulation, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Programs like MBSR improve physical health and lower reactivity to workplace stress. Short daily practices or guided meditations help workers facing uncertainty build resilience and maintain focus.
• Regular physical activity releases chemicals that lift mood, reduce anxiety, and build confidence. Even small actions—walking, cycling, gardening—are linked to better mental health. Guidelines recommend 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous activity weekly, which workers can meet through simple habits like brisk walks, stretching, or spending time outdoors.
• Sleep strongly affects mood, stress, and daily functioning. Getting only 4.5 hours a night for a week increases irritability and low mood, and chronic sleep issues raise the risk of depression and anxiety. Consistent routines, reducing evening caffeine or alcohol, and limiting screens can help, and persistent problems should be addressed with professional support.
