| The Transformation of Workplaces |
|
|
In the current pandemic context that is forcing organizations to reorganize, CIRANO, in collaboration with the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) and the Ordre des Conseillers en ressources humaines (CRHA), is proposing a new theme for its HR Forum: the transformation of workplaces.
Organizational models are being overturned and corporate culture shaken, particularly through the adoption of massive teleworking. Today's challenges are many and complex. All organizations, both public and private, need to collaborate and exchange to better prepare for the challenges of the future. CIRANO Researchers in the major themes of "Skills" and "Innovation and Digital Transformation" are particularly interested in such research questions.
The HR Forum, exclusive to CIRANO partners, is the ideal platform for CIRANO partners and researchers to exchange knowledge, learn collectively and help each other meet these new HR challenges.
This initiative, for which CIRANO will play a federating and mobilizing role, is a way to make its liaison and transfer mission even more alive. A research component will also be implemented in direct relation to the concerns and issues shared during the meetings.
The first meetings on this theme took place on February 24 and March 31, 2021.
