60 — What is the future of work?

Aug 29, 2017

Are we really undergoing a revolution in the workplace? Is work changing at all? And if it is, what do we need to do to adapt?

This week on the GoodPractice Podcast, CIPD's David D'Souza joins Owen and Ross G to discuss the future of work.

If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find David on Twitter @dds180, Ross @RossGarnerGP and Owen @OwenFerguson.
