The Changing World of Work – the Economy and Enterprises Perspective 2400-OG-EN-CHWW

Digital advances, society ageing, new generations of workers and economic challenges make the workplace change rapidly. Forms of employment are becoming more flexible and individualized and the career is not related to one job for a lifetime. It is becoming more and more important to be able to balance work and life at different stages. During the course we look at the transformations in the world of work both from the economy and an enterprise perspective. We analyze the way labour market works, discuss new phenomenon in the field of employment and talk about the ways of combating unemployment. Moreover, we look at selected aspects of Human Resources Management related, among others, to employee motivation to work, organizational culture and innovations (including workplace innovations).
