Description
The Covid-19 pandemic revolutionized the workplace, pushing organizations to rapidly adopt remote and hybrid working models. As we emerge from the lockdown, hybrid working has become a permanent fixture in many industries. However, the shift has created uncertainty for both employees and employers. While many workers demand flexible working conditions, organizations are grappling with how to maintain collaboration, innovation, and organizational cohesion in a more fragmented environment. This book explores these dynamics, focusing on the ongoing challenges and opportunities brought about by hybrid work arrangements. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) introduces a second layer of complexity to the workplace. With the potential to transform job roles, workflows, and even decision-making processes, AI presents both opportunities and risks. This volume brings together experts in organizational development to examine how AI is reshaping the future of work. Contributors will discuss how these changes are impacting career trajectories, employee engagement, and the traditional structures of organizational development. Through a mix of theoretical insights and practical case studies, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of how hybrid working and AI are shaping the future of organizations. Providing valuable insights into navigating these transformative shifts, this volume will be of great interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and those interested in the evolving world of work.
