21st Century Workforces and Workplaces

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.
