Too often authors writing on the ‘new workplace’ have
drifted away from assessing the data to actively promoting a
particular form of work organization. These authors recognize that
the increased flexibility and deregulation that allows some new
forms of work behaviour might also sever the bonds of employment
security – as a result individuals stand to gain or lose.
This book will have a substantial impact on my own thinking about
the changing nature of work.

The post-recession world will mean that there will be fewer
people doing more work, with the demands of new technology and
global competition adversely affecting their work and private
lives. This book attempts to identify the fundamental drivers of
change, the issues that workers at all levels will have to face and
how we should re-structure our organizations and working lives to
confront these challenges. I congratulate the authors for their
important contribution not only to the literature but also to the
health and wellbeing of the workers of the world.
