Workvine have always emphasised  the necessary balance between engaged employees and innovative uses of technology. We want to live in a future that doesn't see our jobs snatched from us by robots.

Our Chairman and illustrious leader, Adrian Hobbs, recently took to the internet to share his insights on these potentially colliding developments.

Having worked in the recruitment industry for 25 years, Adrian has bared witness to various tides of change – from the factory environment of the 1970s to the bourgeoning days of the intranet in the 1990s to today where technology and automation are threatening to overtake the employee in the productivity race. And in this exclusive article published HRZone, Adrian brings those various experiences to the forefront, sharing his own vision of the future; a future that utilizes the best of both worlds.

We should not have to substitute one model of worker for another, treating the working human as little more than a passing fad. If anything, the development of technology is all the more reason why we should maximise our efforts into engaging our employees.
