identifying opportunities to support new work practices.

You can think of this site as a place to learn the science behind WorkLab, which Microsoft recently launched to share compelling stories and research-based insights about the changing nature of work. Stay tuned as we add more peer-reviewed research papers and other scholarly content."},{"id":2,"name":"WorkLab","content":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/worklab\">WorkLab<\/a>\u00a0is
