Changing attitudes, living patterns and technologies are
transforming our relationship with work in such fundamental ways
that tomorrow's workplace will be barely recognizable to that of
our parents. To help us make sense of these changes Richard Donkin
has examined the forces and themes that are influencing what
amounts to a silent revolution in social behavior. Donkin argues
that this change is creating a watershed in working lives as
significant as that of the factory system that heralded the
Industrial Revolution. Unless we understand these forces, he warns,
policies may be poorly fitted to meet the challenges ahead posed by
environmental change and shrinking oil reserves.
This sweeping survey of the history of work, from hunter-gatherers to dotcom telecommuters, deftly compresses thousands of years of human evolution into an incisive volume that the Toronto 'Globe & Mail' calls "a page turner of a book." It is a book about work, about the organization and management of work, but it is also a book about people.
The forces that are shaping the future of employment are examined in this new book. The author presents a cohesive argument for a fundamental change in attitudes to work, both from policymakers and employers if we are to create a healthier society capable of meeting the expectations and concerns of a developing economy.
