The rules of the talent game are changing, and new ways of working, combined with technological advancement, create unmatched opportunities to reimagine the way we live and work in the future. And with the creation of a Chief Future of Work Officer position in 2021, SAP became one of just a few companies to have someone managing this topic holistically at C-suite level.
