    It's time to rediscover job design as a strategic HR tool. We've lost the art of good job design in HR and across organisations. Too many roles today are rigid and standardised, failing to harness the full potential of our diverse workforce. This has led to disengagement, diminished wellbeing, and suboptimal performance. By empowering employees to personalise their work through concepts such as SMART work design and job crafting, we can reignite intrinsic motivation, boost wellbeing, and unlock a new era of performance. What we'll share: 1) Actionable ideas and insights about good work design principles 2) Agile alternatives to traditional job descriptions such as the Job Canvas 3) Practical ways to foster personalisation at work through concepts such as job crafting. The session will be evidence informed, insight rich and full of practical examples. And fun.
