Editorial
Abstract
In this special volume of the European Journal of Workplace Innovation, we wish to recognise the contributions of Professor Richard Ennals, who served as Editor-in-Chief from 2015 to 2024. His extensive work in workplace innovation, action research, and education has had a significant impact on the field. We acknowledge his leadership in fostering dialogue and advancing inquiry. In this issue, we include an obituary by Professor Peter Totterdill, offering a comprehensive reflection on Professor Ennals’ contributions and legacy.
This double issue presents 11 articles exploring key developments in workplace innovation. The contributions examine a range of critical themes, including organisational transformation, digitalisation, sustainability, and employee participation. Together, they offer a rigorous analysis of the challenges and opportunities shaping the evolving world of work and employment. The issue has been curated under the editorial guidance of guest editor Kenneth Abrahamsson.
