| The gap between HR research and practice has been acknowledged already for some time (Cohen, 2007), and better communication between HR professionals and academics has been recommended as one potential way of narrowing this gap (Deadrick & Gibson, 2007, 2009). Major ongoing changes in the nature of white-collar work, the increased pace of change as a result of technological progress, and the challenges this poses for HR only serves to amplify the importance of this issue. This PDW draws together top HR researchers and high-level practitioners to pinpoint current, crucial HR challenges that merit research attention in the eyes of both academics and HR professionals. |
