7CO01Work and working lives in a changing business environment

This CIPD Level 7 video for unit 7CO01 explores how policy shifts and long-term economic trends have fundamentally reshaped the employment relationship and workforce security. Addressing assessment criteria 1.4, the video appraises macro-economic policy changes, de-industrialisation, and the transition towards service-based and knowledge-based economies, whilst examining how these shifts have created persistent job and income insecurity across organisations. By analysing affluence inequality and evolving employment patterns, learners gain critical insight into how contemporary economic development impacts management practice and workforce stability in an increasingly uncertain labour market.
