Rethinking Work: Key Insights from Corporate Research Forum (CRF) Conference 2025 Last week, Paula Gibson and Maggie Matthews MCIPD represented The Oxford Group at the CRF Conference 2025: Rethink Work - Evolve or Endure, a major thought-leadership event exploring how organisations can adapt to a rapidly changing world.   Key trends shaping the future of work: ✅ The Global Talent Reset - Demographic shifts, evolving skill demands, and changing employee expectations are redefining workforce strategies. ✅ The Unbundling of Work - Traditional roles are being broken down into tasks, some handled by AI, others by flexible or gig workers. ✅ The Human/AI Partnership - A new social contract is emerging, built on trust, flexibility, and shared accountability.   Want to dive deeper into these insights? 👉 Read the full blog article from CRF Lisbon → https://lnkd.in/eGTn4PWV Are these challenges on your agenda?

🔍 Corporate Research Forum (CRF) Research: The New Deal at Work – Rethinking Leadership for a Changing Workforce Employee expectations are shifting - and with them, the psychological contract between employer and employee. Corporate Research Forum (CRF)’s latest report explores what this means for organisations and leaders. At The Oxford Group, we believe this is the right moment to reimagine the employment relationship. Leadership today must be human-centred, emotionally intelligent, and grounded in everyday actions that build trust and connection. As a partner of Corporate Research Forum (CRF) we are pleased to offer our insights to this timely and thought-provoking report. 📌 Key insights: Employees expect to be treated as individuals with a voice. Wellbeing and development are now essential, not optional. The psychological contract must reflect shared values and mutual respect. This isn’t a trend - it’s a call to action. Organisations must invest in leadership that meets evolving expectations with empathy, clarity, and purpose. ➡️ Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/efzf_im7 #Leadership #HRStrategy #TheNewDealAtWork #CRF #TheOxfordGroup
