What is Work and Working Lives in a Changing Business Environment? In this video from HRC Online, we introduce CIPD 7CO01, this unit of the CIPD Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management and explain why this unit is the essential foundation for senior HR professionals who want to operate strategically in a rapidly changing world. 7CO01 takes a panoramic view of the forces reshaping work, organisations, and the employment relationship. The unit explores how globalisation, geopolitical risk, and supply chain volatility are transforming employment models; how AI, automation, and digital surveillance technologies are changing job design, skills requirements, and employee trust; and how demographic shifts and evolving employee expectations are redefining attraction, retention, and engagement. It also tackles the long-term implications of economic uncertainty, income inequality, skills shortages, and employment legislation and critically examines how organisations can lead change, build resilience, and maintain ethical standards while doing so. Throughout, the unit demands that senior HR practitioners think critically, develop original arguments, and advise strategically at board level.
