About this listen

The podcast that dares to think differently about people and business. What if?, from the CIPD's Work. magazine, asks curious and unexpected questions about everything from inclusion to the metaverse. And it brings together world-leading experts, including academics, authors and business leaders, to try and find some answers. If you've ever wondered whether it would be better if we dispensed with charismatic leaders altogether, or if we should all just work from home forever, this is the place to explore ideas and think the previously unthinkable.

    It has been seven years since Ram Charan wrote his controversial article ‘It’s time to blow up HR and build something new’, and hopefully the profession has more than proved its value over the last few years. But what criticisms still get levelled at it? And are some organisations really managing well without a people function? Academic Wendy Hirsh and the CIPD's chief executive Peter Cheese discuss.

    What if… no one had to work?
    Jul 21 2022
    What would we all do all day if there were no jobs? And how likely is this to come to pass? Academic Daniel Susskind argues it is only a matter of time before mass society-wide unemployment becomes a reality, while NHS Confederation chief executive and political thinker Matthew Taylor says there will always be work – we just need to ensure it is good quality.
