Cathy Benko, National Managing Director for Deloitte's Initiative for the Retention and Advancement of Women, proposed in her opening speech at our first roundtable that we look at "the day after tomorrow," when planning for the future workplace. The stop-gap solutions of part and flex time work fill an important need, but what are the bigger solutions in retaining employees and restructuring the workforce? What will the day after tomorrow be like? How do we get there?

We take a look at this in our episode and see how Bain & Company is approaching this question by speaking with partner Heidi Locke Simon. We also talk with Harvard Business School professor Kathleen McGinn on what the future of business might look like, and discuss how one reframes the retention issue to get more people involved with Ralph Pais partner at Fenwick & West.
