今年,根據(jù)我公司對一系列可靠資源的初步研究和二次研究,我已跟蹤到會給工作領(lǐng)域造成影響的職場十大趨勢。他們集中在世代交替、自由職業(yè)者的崛起和技能差距等等。從專業(yè)的角度來看,當(dāng)你做出職業(yè)抉擇的時候,了解這些趨勢將助你一臂之力。從企業(yè)的角度來看,這些趨勢將有助于你做出更加明智的商業(yè)決策。這里是我列舉出的前十大趨勢:
1. Millennials will rise up。
1. “千禧一代”將崛起。
Despite all the reports of the poor economy and the high unemployment rate for Gen Y, they will start to get jobs again. They will become nearly 30% of the American workforce next year and that number will increase substantially in the next five to ten years. As millennials enter and boomers retire, new life will be breathed into corporations and policies will change rapidly。
雖然“Y世代”(1974-1980年出生的人)面臨艱難的經(jīng)濟形勢和高企的失業(yè)率,但是他們將重新開始找到工作。明年他們在美國就業(yè)人口中所占比例將接近30%,在未來五到十年,那個數(shù)字還將大幅增加。隨著“千禧一代”(1984-1995年出生的人)加入勞動大軍和嬰兒潮(1946-1964年出生的人)一代的退休,企業(yè)被注入新的生機,政策將迅速改變。
2. Working from home becomes mainstream。
2. 在家工作成為主流。
We’ve heard some companies trusting their employees enough to let them work from home. In 2013, companies will realize the cost savings and the productivity increase and give their employees more flexibility. While in years past flexibility programs were viewed as a perk, they will become more standardized and expected. One of the best examples is Aetna. 47% of their 35,000 employees work from home and they have saved an estimated 15% to 25% on real estate costs at an annual savings of about $80 million。我們都聽說因為一些企業(yè)對他們的員工足夠信任以至允許他們在家辦公。2013年,企業(yè)將不僅意識到在家工作有助節(jié)約成本和提高工作效率,還將給予其員工更多的靈活性。在過去的幾年中,雖然彈性工作制被視為是一種福利,但他們將變得更加標準化,需求也將越來越大。最好的案例之一就是美國安泰保險公司(Aetna)。在該公司3.5萬人的員工當(dāng)中,有47%的職員在家工作,如此一來,這能夠為公司省下15%到25%的辦公場地成本,每年節(jié)省的經(jīng)費估計高達越8,000萬美元。
3. Emphasis on employee engagement。
3. 重視員工敬業(yè)度。
