Future of Work

In the business world, there has been a tremendous amount of research into the future of work. Employers all over the world are attempting to predict how the future of work will look and how they will adapt to it. Indeed, the labour market is likely to undergo significant changes in the coming years and decades. Despite its popularity, there is still no universally accepted definition of what the "future of work" entails and what the most relevant drivers are.

In general, businesses are attempting to better understand how the emergence of technology and globalisation will affect the way their employees work, how it will reshape human capital management, and how the changes will affect how businesses operate.

The Rapid Transition to the Future of Work

Just a few months ago, everyone was predicting that the future of work would be entirely digital. Digital is now the new normal for organisations all over the world that have been forced to completely transform and digitalize their business processes.

The pandemic has had a massive impact on online working environments, hastening the transition to the future of work. Furthermore, some experts believe that the workplace will never be the same again. The coronavirus has fundamentally altered every aspect of business, from the elimination of our daily commute to how we interact and collaborate with our coworkers.

6 Current Trends Affecting the Future of Work

01.

Working from home has become the new normal

"The future of work is remote! you may recall hearing. Isn't it incredible to see how quickly the future of work has become the new normal? Many organisations believed that remote work was impossible to manage at the start of this crisis because talent management practices had been completely disrupted. This is not the case, as many of them are considering continuing to work remotely even after the pandemic.

02.

Accelerated digital transformations

Many businesses will recall 2020 as the year of digital transformation. Today, digitalizing both internal and external processes is critical for businesses to run as smoothly as possible. When it comes to implementing new digital solutions in the workplace, tools and software solutions for employee communication are at the top of the list. Such solutions are critical for keeping employees connected and informed about important and, now more than ever, frequent company updates as well as local government updates.

03.

Increased importance of internal communication

When it comes to the future of work, the way employees communicate has always been an important topic. This is even more relevant now that we have switched to remote work. Organizations have become aware of the importance of internal communications in keeping employees safe, productive, and motivated to do their job successfully. Therefore, IC experts are now considered some of the most important strategic business partners.

04.

Leadership's Changing Role

Previously, few organisations may have regarded leadership as an important topic for the future of work. We were mostly concerned with how AI and other technologies will eventually replace some human jobs. However, we can now see that the role of leadership in creating healthier workplaces is critical We've heard and read a lot about the importance of leadership in difficult times over the last few months.

05.

The emergence of social collaboration

Social collaboration is more important now than ever before. Employees want to be involved and expect complete transparency. They want to be able to participate in two-way company conversations on a daily basis, to be heard, and to share their own ideas with others.Employees from all departments must interact in a way that is seamless, intuitive, and simple. Otherwise, your employees may feel disconnected and isolated, resulting in lower motivation and engagement at work.

06.

Mobile-friendly workplaces

Consider the retail and healthcare industries. Employers in those industries were unable to immediately notify their deskless employees about critical news and company updates at the start of this pandemic, despite knowing that their employees' health was at risk As a result, creating mobile-friendly workplaces is no longer considered the future of work; it is the present of work. It has become the new normal.
