Overview
Free for CIPD members and Core Learning Subscribers.
Meaningful work (‘good work’) is purposeful and benefits individuals, organisations and communities. In a constantly changing environment, organisation development and design is growing in importance. Effective organisation development (ODV) can help everyone find personal meaning in their work and use their talents constructively.
Building upon the definition and benefits of meaningful work outlined in the positioning Essential Insight course Meaningful Work and Organisational Leadership, this course delves deeper into how ODV can contribute to creating experiences of meaningful work. Learners do not need to have completed Meaningful Work and Organisational Leadership to attend.
Aligning to the foundation standards of the CIPD Profession Map in the specialist knowledge area of organisational development and design, learners will get to grips with different dimensions of work and job quality. They will become familiar with the role that ODV can play in fostering meaningful work experiences and how to start their own self-development plan.
