The chapters examine key trends from organizational psychological topics, including communication, HR strategy, culture, teamwork, leadership, ethics, managing stress and burnout, workplace health and safety, flexible working, the future of careers, and retirement. Brought together, these chapters offer a comprehensive overview of important areas within the field of work and organizational psychology, and how they connect to the post-COVID workplace. The authors provide guidance on embracing agility, resilience, and innovation to thrive in an uncertain and rapidly changing environment.
