Pursuing the Growth Agenda - Key Trends for 2011
-
The start of a new year is always a good time to reflect on times past and times ahead. 2010 might best be described as a year of disruptive change related not only to a difficult economy but also to deeper trends in the world of work certain to impact the workplace for the foreseeable future. In the face of change, we’ve seen issues of engagement, retention, wellness, trust and leadership come to the fore. In the year ahead, some of these same issues will continue to demand attention but in new ways. We see signs that organisations will increasingly pursue a growth agenda. But whether they achieve their goals will depend on how they respond to the changes continuing to disrupt workplaces.
