The Future of Work Culture

Workforces across industries and around the world are in the midst of a major generational change. Today, organizations are often comprised of Baby Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z employees, creating a rare cross section of ages, each with their own career goals, work styles, and workplace preferences. The ways in which these generations interact and what they want from companies are not only changing organizational structures today, but are shaping the future of work.

Work/Life Balance

Employees of all ages want healthy separation between their work and homelife. Understanding what this means for each generation, and how to encourage it without negatively impacting a company’s profitability, is critical for a successful, happy workforce.

Trust

Employees want to be able to know that they can trust their coworkers, their managers, and the company’s vision as a whole. Establishing and growing trust throughout an organization pushes all members of a company toward a collective goal.

Team Building/Collaboration

There are many different strategies that can strengthen relationships between employees, as well as countless factors that can weaken them. Learning how to improve collaboration and decrease workplace and interpersonal stressors can lead to a far more effective workforce.
