How to navigate a changing landscape world of work ? Charles-Henri Dumon

ABOUT THE BOOK

How to navigate a changing landscape

One of the pandemic’s most challenging aspects was the continuous state of uncertainty it perpetuated on top of the hellishly fast pace of digital, environmental, sociological and demographic change.

With this book, Charles-Henri Dumon invites readers to stand back and take stock of the effect all these changes had - and still have - on the new world of work, and how it alters the thinking and behaviour of top-performing employees.

This book aims to assist talented individuals to find their way in these turbulent times so they can rise to the top. At the same time, it seeks to help organisations to comprehend the enormity of the challenges posed by the new world of work and be successful in this ever-changing environment.

It is also aimed at young people who face a very different world from that of their parents, equipping them with the tools they need to create new opportunities in terms of what is fundamental to them, i.e. their lives, careers, working practices, priorities and the meaning they ascribe to work. This book also aspires to guide organisations as well as their CEOs and human resource managers by exploring new ways of consolidating and championing innovation and transformation.

The time has come to find new ways to create a more harmonious and humane world of work; one that aims above all not to leave so many people behind.
