THE SITUATION
In planning for the future, companies must be willing to understand the complexity of our global economy, and be able to position themselves to attract and retain the workers they will need to continue moving forward. It is inevitable that companies will face several challenges from both the future workforce and from the changing nature of work itself. As a result, HR Administrators and HR managers will need to think ahead by understanding the major obstacles of demographics, technological and societal shifts, and help to enable and empower others and the local communities to prepare accordingly. Sweeping demographic changes across both the developed and developing world will place greater pressure on both the government and private sector to initiate and implement creative solutions to educate, integrate and retain a rapidly changing and diverse working population. Hundreds of millions of women are predicted to pour into the global workforce in the upcoming years, temporary and part-time workers are a significant and seemingly permanent fixture, companies need to adapt further to a new breed of employee. When you add the issues of a multi-generational workforce and growing cultural diversity, it is no surprise that people management is one of the most substantial challenges facing companies in the future.
