I've written about the five trends shaping the future of work quite a bit and it's actually how I start many of the keynotes I give at conference and events. However, I haven't done a video about this topic so I wanted to fix that! Just to recap, the five trends are:
- Globalization- operating in a world where boundaries don't exist
- Mobility- "connect to work" as long as you have access to the web you can get your job done
- New behaviors- living a public life, real-time feedback, collaboration, sharing
- Technology- big data, collaboration platforms, internet of things, robots and automation, wearables, and more.
- Millennials/demography- millennials will make up 50% of the workforce by 2020 and 75% by 2025, older generations are retiring later and many are becoming freelancers after they retire.
