Next Generation Workplaces




Next week I'll be presenting IQPC's Next Generation Workplaces conference at Twickenham stadium (Tuesday 26 - Wednesday 27 September 2017).

I'll be speaking about the link between workplace design and organisation design:

Workplace design is increasingly being integrated with other disciplines, particularly HR and IT. This session will suggest, however, that the area which workplace needs to be most closely connected to is organisation design. An effective workplace, supporting broader organisational principles, can ensure that people can deliver more than they could elsewhere. An important example is the alignment of group spaces with the design of the organisation structure as well as the selection of social technologies. Hear about how a focus on outcomes, together with tighter partnerships across HR, OD, IT and Property / Facilities can extend the impact of a next generation workplace.


The conference is colocated with the Employee Experience conference and I'll be attending some of the sessions there as well.


Do let me know if you're a reader of Strategic HCM and you're going to be around...

The Quality of Relationships




I've had an article on the social organisation published in the CIPD's Work journal:


"It's not just about the quality of individuals, but the relationships between them."


I also refer to the area I'm increasingly focused on, which extends slightly beyond the content of the book itself:


"We need to be able to navigate the complexities of these different types of group. How, for example, do we manage employee performance and reward people appropriately when they make different contributions - and have different levels of engagement and performance - within the four types of group (hierarchical functions, horizontal project teams, communities and networks)?"


If you have any thoughts or experiences on this I'd love to hear from you.

Glassdoor Recruit conference




Glassdoor's first-ever recruiting focused conference, Glassdoor Recruit, is designed to help you win the race for top talent with informed candidates.

But just who are these informed candidates? They're twice as likely to be hired because they’re the right fit, saving you time by cutting out those other unqualified resumes.

In the US, the event is being held in Chicago on Tuesday 19th September.

In the UK, we're having a slightly more select, simultaneous event held in London on the Tuesday afternoon. This will feature a live screening of sessions from Glassdoor's and United Airlines' CEOs.

I'll also be moderating a panel discussion with three local recruitment leaders:

  • Craig Hunter Colt Technologies
  • Daryl Sutcliffe The Co-Operative
  • Vicki Saunders Boots.




There'll be networking drinks too. Maybe see you there?
