The Future of HRD, Volume I Innovation and Technology
The Future of HRD, Volume I “This book is very timely! Our approach to the world of work is changing rapidly. The degree to which our working lives are reliant upon technology has been emphasised by social distancing and Covid-19. The internationally renowned contributors to this volume address key issues around innovation and technology that HRD will face in the future. The editors skilfully pull these together to create a pool of ideas, learning and thought that generates questions, whilst also emphasising alternative ways of working. This book is essential reading for anyone questioning changes in the role of technology in the way we work, communicate, socialise and learn.” —Dr Monica Lee, Lancaster University, UK
