Circumstances are right for meaningful and fundamental change in the world of work. But what will that change look like – and what role will HR play in it?
The Great Work Reset outlines how HR and people leaders can help work to become radically better.
When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the global world of work, throwing business leaders everywhere into prolonged periods of radical uncertainty, The People Space and Open University Business School (OUBS) came together to develop this resource to facilitate the sharing of collective learning and expertise between practitioner and academic communities.
The People Space is a digital content creator and curator simplifying the trends and technologies underpinning the future of work so HR and people leaders can best prioritise their actions and budget for most success. The triple accredited Open University Business School has been a pioneer in flexible supported distance learning for over 30 years, and delivers transformational, high quality business and management education and research.
Join the conversation. It’s the topic that keeps evolving, and at pace!
"Most large organisations are finely tuned to meet the challenges they faced 20 years ago. This mindset does need to change"
Mark Fenton-O'Creevy, professor of organisational behaviour at Open University Business School
