Top 10 Changes to the Workplace in the Next 5 Year Years 1. The office becomes a ghost town as more managers and organizations accept the reality of telecommuting 2. Telecommuting leads to loss of social skills, resulting in inappropriate behavior, anger, and lawsuits when employees have to deal face-to-face. 3. Generation Y rules the roost, demanding the tools they need to collaborate. 4. The Baby Boomers settle for semi-retirement, and smart employers tap their knowledge base. 5. Old-line companies that don't accept the work-from-anywhere philosophy lose out on great job candidates, and productivity suffers. 6. The static, hierarchical org chart becomes a dynamic maze of project-based relationships. 7. Companies save big on training costs and travel expenses with online alternatives. 8. Collaborative software and project management tools kill the Friday afternoon staff meeting because updates happen all week. 9. Sustainability and corporate social responsibility become facts of life in hiring. 10.Video gets the company closer to the customer.
