Jarrod McGrath Blog
I’ve spent the last 20 years working with organisations around the world to help them better manage their people in the rapidly evolving business landscape that we all find ourselves in. I’m passionate about putting people first in all situations and my writing, speaking and commentary focuses on how we can do this through innovative thinking, embracing digital and being brave enough to embrace new operating models.
I AM IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING MY BLOG.  MANY OF MY POSTS AND COMMENTARY CAN BE FOUND ON THE SMART WFM BLOG
