Rethinking Work & the Workplace

Recent workplace disruptions are shattering the tradition of employing only full-time, long-term workers. New workplace models and evolving employee expectations are coming together at full speed, and the deterrents of independent work are fast disappearing in the digital economy.

This Fall 2023 issue of the People + Strategy journal analyzes these trends from the perspective of CHROs, CEOs and others in the vortex of these changes. Plus, it unveils new SHRM research on how these emerging labor models are being embraced by employers and employees.
