I'm currently working on a new expert round-up text that will explore the future of work and work trends. It will be a text featuring experts from various fields and tackling the future of work.

There are 5 questions I need answered:

1. What do you think about the current state of work? What business trends are here to stay (4-day workweek, remote-first companies, mental health support, etc.)?
2. What’s your preferred work model (think remote, hybrid, distributed, in-office)? Why?
3. What are employers looking for in a workplace? What about employees? Do employers and employees lean toward the same things when it comes to the future of work?
4. What are your predictions for the future of work? What do you expect to change/stay the same?
5. Describe the future of work in one word.
