Indeed, we can all agree that the workplace, as we know it, is changing. This is especially true considering the tough decisions we have had to make in response to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Many businesses and people were forced to adopt new methods, and as a result, more contemporary trends that seemed far-reached some years ago are gradually becoming the new normal.
Getting accustomed to these new trends will allow you to work better and be more productive. These trends are numerous, but we will highlight notable ones here. Technology is one of the most significant trends shaping the workplace through robotics, big data, automation, the internet of things, cloud storage, video, social media, etc. All these technologies allow us to transact with clients and connect with coworkers in newer ways, and they are going to be key moving on.
Newer behaviors over the years have forced us to work differently. Now, we are comfortable with giving our information to people we have never seen or do not know before. This will ensure that people from around the world work more as a community, collaborating and communicating efficiently while sharing personal experiences more readily.
Soon, millennials in the workplace are already constituting about half of the workforce. The projection is that by 2025, the percentage would be 75%. This generation will be so massive that they will determine the workplace's values, ideas, and methods.
Generally, these factors and others would bring more flexibility to the workplace, and we would have to embrace newer alternatives in work practices and work culture.
