‘The skills of our people are our best guarantee of future prosperity – and the best investment a business can make in challenging times. We must not pay the price of failing to invest in the very talent on which our future will be built.'
How important is the community of our workplace, how much do we rely on it not just to fill our time, but to build our social circle? How do our attitudes to the community that work provides change as we get older and more experienced? In volume 2 of the 2008 Working Nation research, we look at how different age groups approach issues such as hierarchy, flexible working, socialising at work and the impact of "Generation Y".
Why do we work? What do we expect to get out of it? What motivates us to keep going back; to get out; or to strive for the next level? Volume 1 of the 2008 Working Nation research seeks to explore these themes in depth.
