The Do School Future of Work Challenge 2016

Find a way to empower employees to make a positive impact – and enable them to measure it. That’s what The Future of Work Challenge is all about.

In particular, you will be asked to:

• Identify new areas in big companies that aren’t already covered by employee satisfaction surveys;
• Create an amazing solution that is easily scalable and transferable, i.e. to other companies;
• Empower individual and structural change by making its effect measurable.

The Challenger

H&M’s business concept is to offer fashion and quality at the best price in a sustainable way. Since it was founded in 1947, H&M has grown from a single women’s wear store in Västerås, Sweden into one of the world’s leading fashion companies, with six different brands, around 3,900 stores, and 132,000 employees in 61 markets.

H&M’s business operations aim to be run in a way that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable for both present and future generations. H&M has responsibility towards everyone who contributes to their success, including those who are not employees of H&M.
