Centre for the New Workforce

The Centre for the New Workforce works with leaders to transform their business by building sustainable workforces for their organisations and meaningful careers for their workers.

Learning and workplace wellbeing is fundamental to these objectives,  even more so in these times of uncertainty. CNeW drives innovation in, and across, learning and workplace wellbeing with evidence-based approaches to enable organisations to thrive.

2021 Report: Peak Human Workplace 

The 2021 CNeW report is a must read for any employer. We are living and working in the ‘unprecedented era’, where the scale and gravity of the challenges that face us – from climate change to a global pandemic – is paired with a profound transformation wrought by rapidly advancing digital technologies. Using survey data from 1,000 everyday Australian workers, our Peak Human Workplace report shows how collaboration diversity and worker-driven learning can help turn complex disruption into competitive advantage across multiple industries.

As technology changes the way we live and work at an unprecedented pace, Swinburne’s Centre for the New Workforce (CNeW) seeks to answer one question above all others: how do we ensure everyone can succeed in the future of work?

Through rigorous enquiry, industry collaboration and think tank analysis, CNeW focuses in understanding how work and workplaces are transforming. We work to conceive new approaches to learning, to empower people and organisations for the new workforce.

Insights from our engaged research will help people and organisations with their real-world challenges, both locally and around the world.
