The Prescott Family Lecture Series: from smart workers to smart work
Generously supported by the Prescott Family Foundation, the Prescott Family Lecture Series focuses on the areas of human resources, industrial relations and related areas, with international experts presenting on important topics and issues.
This year, we are proud to confirm the keynote speaker is Professor Sharon Parker, globally recognised expert on the nature of work and job design.
Professor Parker will explore how digitalisation and the associated technological and organisational changes presents both challenges and opportunities for work design.

Against the backdrop of a crisis mental health and the need for ‘prosperity through innovation’, Professor Parker articulates the importance of high-quality work for a healthy and functioning society.
