Working towards the future

The workplace is changing – and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic is likely to shape the way we look at work long after the crisis is over.

Millions of people are now working from home and finding ways to remain connected and productive. And the mental wellness of employees is something that businesses in all sectors are becoming increasingly aware of.

The Institute for Research into Organisations, Work and Employment (iROWE) at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) has been working with organisations across the county to help shape the future of work in the region.

The institute, which is part of the Lancashire School of Business and Enterprise at UCLan, also engages with trade unions, professional bodies, HR professionals and policymakers to inform the development of effective workplace practice and employment policy in Lancashire.
