Time: 6.30pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speaker: Professor Richard Freeman
Chair: Professor John Van Reenen
Every week employed people spend half or more of their waking time at work. With computers and email, work has become more intrusive. Many think about work and put in extra hours at the weekends. What determines job satisfaction at work? What do people do when they are dissatisfied? This lecture tells what we know and need to know to understand this critical part of our lives. It marks the beginning of Manpower's collaboration with CEP in the setting up of a Human Resources Lab.
Richard Freeman is professor of economics at Harvard University, labour studies programme director at NBER and senior research fellow at LSE's Centre for Economic Performance.
This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis.
