Trends That Are Dramatically Changing Work & Workspace

The traditional 10 am to 6 pm job is slowly but surely becoming a thing of the past. one can easily observe changing workspace and changing trends of work. We’ve listed down a few  trends that are changing business operations across the globe:

Organisations Have Become More Dispersed
With changing times, work is now no longer concentrated to central offices with dedicated individuals. Many organisations have diversified the distribution of their work by outsourcing to service providers in different countries and continents. With a globally dispersed team and employees juggling between several projects, organisations are incorporating multiple communication tools to promote real-time, ongoing dialogue across departments. From Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to enterprise social platforms like Yammer, Jive, Chatter, Kaltura and Slack help team members exchange ideas and collaborate across functional and geographic boundaries.

Work Flexibility
Companies are becoming sensitive to employees’ needs, and are adopting policies such as work from home, flexible schedules, job sharing, child care assistance, and sick-child care programs to promote work flexibility. Even presently, 80% of the U.S. companies offer work flexibility options to employees, according to FlexJobs and WorldatWork survey. Many believe that flex time helps working parents only, but it’s not true!  It also helps people with health issues, people taking care of loved ones who have health issues, and people living in rural areas. In other words, changing workspace is benefiting people both physically and mentally. Workplace experts believe that in 2017 companies will be focused more on structuring flexible work options and finding ways to measure its effectiveness.

Co-working Spaces
The Harvard Business Review describes co-working spaces as “membership-based workspaces where diverse groups of freelancers, remote workers, and other independent professionals work together in a shared, communal setting.” This relatively new trend is already rocking the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Uber and Instagram, the shining stars of technology, started out of co-working spaces. Co-working is more than sharing office space with entrepreneurs and freelancers; it’s about sharing ideas, networking and swapping skills.

We hope that these points have helped you get a brief understanding of the changing scenario of the modern workplace across the globe.
