HR (R)Evolution

Dr Alan Watkins & Nick Dalton

Change the Workplace, Change the World

Observers suggest that capitalism is damaging our planet and concentrating power in a few companies. With short-termism, leveraged debt, digitisation, and disruption as the new normal, we face two possible futures: a regression to the harsh days of the early Industrial Revolution and the Great Depression, or a world of abundance and prosperity. Business, particularly HR, will play a crucial role in determining our path.

“The HR (R)Evolution: Change the Workplace, Change the World” explores the evolution of HR and its pivotal role in shaping our future. It outlines the “Seven Great Waves” of change and their impact on business, highlighting how some companies remain stuck in the past and how HR can lead the way forward. This book is for senior business leaders and HR professionals who understand that people issues are the central challenge of our time. Embracing future waves of change will determine our survival and prosperity. The future is in our hands.
