When companies in the airport industry publish annual and quarterly reports, ESG reports and other filings, GlobalData analyses the text and identifies individual sentences that relate to disruptive forces facing companies in the coming years. The future of work is one of these topics - companies that excel and invest in these areas are thought to be better prepared for the future business landscape and better equipped to survive unforeseen challenges.
To assess whether the future of work is featuring more in the summaries and strategies of companies in the airport industry, two measures were calculated. Firstly, we looked at the percentage of companies which have mentioned the future of work at least once in filings during the past twelve months - this was 58% compared to 17% in 2016. Secondly, we calculated the percentage of total analysed sentences that referred to the future of work.

By GlobalDataAcross all companies in the airport industry the filing published in the third quarter of 2021 which exhibited the greatest focus on the future of work came from Jet2 plc. Of the document's 1,683 sentences, seven (0.4%) referred to the future of work.
This analysis provides an approximate indication of which companies are focusing on the future of work and how important the issue is considered within the airport industry, but it also has limitations and should be interpreted carefully. For example, a company mentioning the future of work more regularly is not necessarily proof that they are utilising new techniques or prioritising the issue, nor does it indicate whether the company's ventures into the future of work have been successes or failures.
GlobalData also categorises the future of work mentions by a series of subthemes. Of these subthemes, the most commonly referred to topic in the third quarter of 2021 was 'collaboration tools', which made up 53% of all future of work subtheme mentions by companies in the airport industry.
