THE FUTUREGUIDE TO

OF WORK

The future of work is all about

challenging convention around how employees work,

how managers lead, and how

companies are structured.

If you don’t think about and plan for the

future of work then your organization

will have no future.

An employee is a cog

A manager is a slave driver

Work is drudgery

The speed of change has never been

greater

Disruption is happening across every

industry and geography

The world has never been more

connected

These trends are causing a change in who guides how work gets

done. We are shifting from a top down to a bottom up structure.

Dan Pink describes this perfectly when he says “talented people

need organizations less than organizations need talented

people.”

EMPLOYEESARE NO LONGER COGS!

Commuted to work every morning

Used company technology

Followed the dress code

Did what they were told and didn’t ask any questions

Sat in cubicles

Did their same tasks over and over and over

Only 13% of employees are engaged

at work- Gallup

43% of employees frequently think about

quitting their jobs- Kelly Outsourcing and Consulting

Heart attacks most common on Monday

as employees dread going back to work!- New York Times Article, “The Claim:

Heart Attacks Are More Common on Mondays”

THIS IS THE BIG PROBLEM! Organizations move linearly and slowly and

the world of work is changing quickly!

And now we have a new workplace dynamic, millennials are

going to be the majority of the workforce by 2020 and 75% of

the workforce by 2025! Gen Z is slowly emerging as

well.

This is what the future employee looks

like and how they will work

This is what the evolution of worklook like for employees.

MANAGERS ARE NO LONGER

“SLAVE-DRIVERS”

Annual employee reviews

Hierarchies and org charts

Focusing on inputs

Managers control all the information

If it isn’t broken don’t fix it!

Most of the people who created the

management practices and

approaches we use today in our

organizations are no longer alive yet

we still build our companies on

outdated thinking.

1. To forecast and plan

2. To organize

3. To command or direct

4. To coordinate

5. To develop output

6. To control

This sounds exactly like present day management

except Fayol developed these functions in the 1800’s!

This is what the evolution of work looks like for managers.

Some companies are getting rid of managers all together,

so how does anything get done?

ORGANIZATIONSOF THE FUTURE

According to Innosight, by 2027, 75% of the

S&P 500 are going to be replaced.

Loyalties have shifted away from organizations to teams, managers, or

projects.

There is no such thing as lifetime or long-term employment anymore.

Average employee tenure for millennials is under 3 years and the overall

average is under 5 years.

Employees care more about more than just money. They value flexibility,

meaningful work, mentoring and training, and impacting the world.

Self-starter opportunities exist everywhere whether it be raising money on

Indiegogo or Gofundme, working as a freelancer on Elance-Odesk, or going to

work for Uber or Lyft as a driver.

Smaller growing companies are challenging the larger behemoths.

The future workforce is growing up skeptical as they saw their parents get

laid off or suffer through unpleasant work experiences.

This is what the future organizationlooks like and how they will operate.

Technology acts as the central nervous system for the future

organization. Specifically collaboration technologies.

So how do organizations deploy these technologies

successfully?

How do organizations adapt to the

FUTURE OF WORK?

Remember, if you don’t think

about and plan for the future of

work than your organization

has

no future!
