QI Connect session about understanding and improving the reality of human work

Learning from everyday work should be the aim of all efforts to improve organisational functioning and performance. The reality of ‘work-asdone’ (how things really get done) by everyone, in front-line, support, and management roles, influences all aspects of organisational functioning.

This session will explore and demystify:

a) the realities of human work at all levels,

b) understanding the varieties of human work, and

c) improving how we work, along with some corresponding myths about work.

Dr Shorrock will draw on examples from various disciplines to highlight the importance of understanding and improving the reality of human work.

Register for the session on the Eventbrite website.
