In and Out Workplace Management Infographic

There’s no denying the massive changes occurring in the business sector today. What was once commonplace has been ushered out, making way for the latest in technology, office design, and business trends. From the way we interact with colleagues and clients to the way our business strategies are designed, the IoT and workplace tools have completely remodeled organizational processes. And with a new breed of employees entering the workforce daily, these changes are showing no signs of slowing down.

Historically, our workforce has been comprised of one, maybe two generations of workers. While most Baby Boomers have come to accept and even embrace our new technological tools, the Millennials EXPECT these tools in the workplace. They have never known a world without them and it is a basic requirement for an effective workplace in their eyes.

Aside from being a major factor in defining the success of modern day businesses, these trends have helped shape how business is conducted. Your typical office setting is no longer about each individual having their own private space, it’s about offering flexibility and mobility. It’s about creating a collaborative workspace and accommodating the employees needs, regardless of time of day or location. The goal is to reduce operational expenses by creating an environment that makes employees want to interact and work. And enterprises that fail to keep up with these trends will find employee retention difficult, and attracting top talent even more problematic. In fact, “companies that increase their number of talented managers and double the rate of engaged employees achieve, on average, 147% higher earnings per share than their competition.”
