ABSTRACT
In previous editions of this book and earlier chapters of this edition I have looked at the changing nature of the psychological contract and its implications for (‘white-collar’) careers and for HR. In this chapter we return to the topic, looking at changing career expectations, in particular considering the issue of how employees can achieve work-life balance, a career conundrum which has grown in significance in recent years. We shall cover:
The changing psychological contract
Enabling mobility
Career pathing
Flexible working
