The role of the investment community in driving good work: Jericho convened this roundtable, on behalf of Peter Cheese, Chief Executive of the CIPD. The aim was to stimulate a conversation that will lead to a tangible programme of action to get traction from the investment community.

The Good Work agenda took centre stage at CIPD's June Festival of Work. Some of the best and most avant-garde thinking from the Good Work community came together in a series of interactive sessions tackling diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The workshops provided an opportunity to convene important but difficult conversations in safe spaces.

The WikiWorkLab programme offers a new take on work experience – a chance for young people and established leaders to collaborate and learn from each other on an equal footing.

At Jericho we have spent time with 20 of our WikiWorkLabbers – a unique work experience programme - working with them to better understand the what role (if any) business has in building a better society.

Insights from the CIPD and Jericho Future of Work is Human Big Tent

The four videos below were circulated over the past month in the build up to the Future of Work is Human Big Tent, taking place (tomorrow) on 12 October 2016. Created and curated by Jericho on behalf of CIPD, the interviews with Damian Green, Margaret Heffernan and Charles Handy, are starting points for a discussion to reshape the world of work.

Over the course of the WikiWorkLab work collaboration programme in July and August 2016, feedback from participants centred around several main strands. Building on work completed over the summer, WikiWorkLab participants will be taking part in the Future of Work is Human Big Tent, scheduled for 12th October 2016. Here, they will be continuing the Future of Work debate with HR directors, policy-makers, business leaders and NGOs. As a starting point for the discussion, below are some Gen Z views on the Future of Work - in their own words.

For the past month, Jericho Chambers has been taken over by Generation Z. As part of our WikiWorkLab – a work experience programme created in partnership with our client the CIPD – 24 individuals (aged 15 - 21) have been roaming these halls. Over three weeks in July and August, they took part in discussions, book clubs and research trips telling us what they think about the future of work.
