Centre for the New Workforce
We investigate how to empower people and organisations as digital technologies transform work.
Powered by Swinburne Edge, the Centre for the New Workforce (CNeW) explores the future of human work, solving challenges and creating opportunities for workforce and workplace.
We research the impact of disruption on work, support leaders to leverage changes to work to empower their people, turn data into evidence for action, create knowledge and value in workforce and workplace transformations and position organisations to be future ready, resilient, adaptable, and able to thrive.
