How does your business want to work tomorrow, and who will you be working with?

The most compelling case for workforce transformation

July 6, 2017 1:00 pm GMT

Your workforce has changed. According to Pew Research, as of 11 May 2015, millennials are now the largest segment. According to accountancy firm Deloitte, those born between 1980 and 1999, will make up 75% of the global workforce by 2025. And Gen Y is just around the corner.

It is no surprise that the first true Internet generation, coming of age after the 2008 financial crisis, has different expectations for its working life. What is surprising: how slow some companies have been to react.

From the BBC: Virgin Group recently held a one-day “corporate day”. Staff had to wear formal business wear and use formal titles, arrive at 9am, couldn’t look at social media and weren’t allowed to make personal calls. “It was a horrible experience for everybody,” says Sir Richard Branson.

And the purpose of the exercise? To give its people “a taste of what a lot of the world is still run like”.

Internal customers are changing as quickly as external customers. Digital natives demand flexibility and agility. They want a working environment that more closely reflects their digital life: new ways of working and new, more collaborative working tools.

The question is not only how does your business want to work tomorrow, but who does your business want to work with?
