The book is a reflection of a post-COVID world, workplace, work and worker. It focuses on the stresses COVID has created, especially in the context of the accelerated, rapidly changing work environment. The book adopts a Singaporean perspective in viewing the nexus between the forces of change, culture and management as it relates to work. In considering how best to increase employee engagement, employee motivation and productivity, it proposes a framework through which leaders, talent practitioners and managers can organise worker collaboration and generate synergy in the process, cumulatively encapsulated by the notion of workplace culture. The book concludes with a view of the futures of work, the main forces of change, complex (wicked) change and a way forward.
