Nothing is constant but change.
While many talk about the “new world of work,” in reality we now have a “new world of life”— one in which work, home, family, and personal lives are completely interconnected in a real-time way.

The Only Constant is Change. Organizations must constantly be evaluating and redesigning their corporate culture to attract and retain key employees. The days of a single 'lifetime' employer, complete with a gold watch at the end of your career, is no longer relevant. According to the Labor Department, “the average person born in the later years of the baby boom held 10.5 jobs from age 18 to 40.” Front burner issues for agile organizations include innovation and engagement, as well as supporting a culture of diversity and inclusion.
The Future is Mobile. Facilitated talent mobility is one of the most important new disciplines in HR. All of this interconnectedness and transparency, coupled with a shift in demographics, means that businesses must think about talent very differently. Companies that embrace the SMART Virtual Workplace, and all it entails, create strong leadership, capability, and employee engagement.
