Recenzii
The authors examine and provide valuable insight into policy thinking around the big-picture challenges facing the workforce today - productivity, labour markets, globalisation, automation, wellbeing, ethics, rewards and demographics. The book paints a picture of the enormous challenges ahead.
Gazing into the fog of the future of work is always dangerous. This book offers clarity. It busts myths which need busting - current productivity measures, and that migrants and robots are taking our jobs. It also offers solutions to the real issues - the need for better wellbeing in work, better management of work and a recollectivisation of the rewards from work. The outcome would be 'good work' that contributes to both the economy and society. Read this book and smile.
This is a very reasoned and thought-provoking book, which is evidence-based and should be read by mangers, HR practitioners and academics. Current myths are debunked and a sensible insight into the future of work is presented.
Descriere
What does the future of work look like? This book charts, explains and analyses the past five years which have rewritten much of what we thought we knew about employment and how workplaces respond to pressure. It also outlines what hasn’t changed and in doing so, distinguishes myth from reality. The book discusses critical questions for any member of any workforce, including: · Does work have to be a ‘place’? · How will future managers be selected, educated and developed? · What is the future for trade unions? · Beyond pay, how will rewards evolve to incentivise workers alongside responsible capitalism? · Is this the end of retirement? Through this discussion, the book takes what we know and projects how the future labour market will develop. It sets out what the future workplace could look like by 2025 by asking what sort of workplace and workforce we want to see in 2025 and what we can do today to help bring it about.
