Welcome to CIPD's new flagship project: Shaping the Future

 
I'm Linda Holbeche, Research and Policy Director at CIPD. Welcome to Shaping the Future, our major new programme of enquiry into the foundations of sustainable high performance. In a fast-changing business environment with more knowledge and service-intensive working, this research is especially relevant.
