2014: A Disruptive Year?

Available for over a year

Has it been a good year for the workers of the world? What changes has 2014 brought and do any of them herald a revolution in the way we work? In the Balance's resident commentator, Colm O'Regan, takes the reins this week in a wide-ranging discussion with Sarah Lyall, a social policy researcher with the New Economics Foundation; Richard Dobbs from McKinsey Global Institute; and Peter Antonioni, co-author of Economics for Dummies and a lecturer in management at University College, London. Is technology the friend or foe workers trying to protect their life outside work? Is the offer to freeze female workers' eggs till they're ready to have children a generous gesture or a company's way of trying to control its workforce? And is mental health finally being taken as seriously physical health by bosses?
