People, Work, Organisation (PWO)

The People, Work and Organisation (PWO) research group drives research that explores how we can enable people to thrive and flourish in high-performing organisations that are also great places to work. In our research we learn from the past and present to prepare for the future by exploring issues from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Our research is characterised by a commitment to organisational practices that promote inclusive and fair work. We drive research that informs policy and practice, embracing a broad range of disciplines and methodologies. 

With a strong foundation in fields such as human resource management; equality, diversity, and inclusion; meaningful work; and critical management studies, we collaborate on groundbreaking research that challenges conventional practices and promotes inclusive and innovative solutions that empower both individuals and organisations to thrive.
