The world of work has changed forever. There's no going back. But how
can HR professionals and business leaders adapt? How can they deal with
both the wellbeing and productivity crisis? What does this mean for
organization and job design? What should be done to address the skills
gap? How can they build a responsible, trustworthy, purpose-driven
organization that the workforce wants? This book has the answer.
Written by a leading voice in the people profession, The New World of
Work takes an evidence-based approach to provide practical advice on
how the business and employees can succeed. It covers how to combat
stalling productivity, poor wellbeing and the increase in mental health
issues in the workplace as well as the need for agile learning, ways to
close the skills gap and a refreshingly realistic look at the impact of
technology. There is also essential discussion of job design, flexible
working, diversity and inclusion (D&I) and how to engage both an ageing
workforce and new Gen Z recruits. This book also includes guidance on
how to build a business which is responsible, trustworthy and
transparent, is based on the principles of 'good work' and is one that
employees are proud to work for.
With global examples and case studies from private and public sector
organizations, The New World of Work is the book that HR and
business professionals need to seize the opportunity and allow both the
business and its people to succeed.
