Disruption is pervasive in today's workplace. No matter the industry, ownership structure, or mission, what organizations are expecting their employees to do is changing. How, when, and where the workforce operates is also changing. Despite all of this upheaval, most companies continue to rely on the same historical and hierarchical organizational structure, protocols, and processes. The “attract/retain/motivate” models may no longer be enough to ensure an adequate, engaged labor supply and a fit-for-purpose workforce.
Pearl Meyer and the WCD Thought Leadership Commission have published a call to action and provided a roadmap for boards and management teams to reframe the risk of this disruption as an opportunity to create benefits for all stakeholders.
