Join us for a thought-provoking evening of insight, inspiration, and lively discussion as we celebrate the official launch of Powering Workplace Proactivity by Dr. Joanne Gray.
This isn’t just any book launch - it’s a celebration of Birkbeck talent! Dr. Joanne Gray earned both her MSc and Professional Doctorate at Birkbeck and is now a proud member of the Birkbeck teaching staff. Her deep ties to Birkbeck and her passion for creating better workplaces make this event especially meaningful.
In an era of volatility and unprecedented change, Powering Workplace Proactivity explores how organizations can stimulate employee proactive behaviour. The kind of self-directed, future-focused, and change-oriented action that drives performance, innovation, and well-being. Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-world case studies, the book introduces the nine-dimensional PROACTIVE work design framework and practical tools that help businesses thrive in a fast-changing world.
More information on the book can be found here.

* Panel discussion with industry pioneers featured as case studies in the book
* Contributions from fellow Birkbeckians whose research also informs some of the book’s insights
Whether you’re a student, alumni, academic, or professional, if you care about making the world of work better and more empowering for everyone, this event is for you.
Come for the ideas, stay for the conversation, and leave inspired to drive positive change in your workplace.
