The
Nature of Work Continues to Be Refined
Consider a few
of the most obvious and dramatic trends:
Home vs.
work or home-work
-
Increasing
amounts of remote work activity contribute strongly to this trend,
whether the labor is now performed at home, in one's car or at a
client's office.
-
Innovative
"quality of life" programs also smudge the home-work boundary as on-site
day care and elder care, after school programs, satellite schools, and
other flex-time and flex-place programs increasingly appear in the
workplace.
Teamwork
-
[Will
increasingly incorporate] individuals from the assembly line to the
administrative heads of divisions. Add a few consultants and/or clients,
and such teams may even include those whose roles are formally outside
of the organization.
-
The line
between an individual's job performance and future, and that of the
groups within which she or he labors, is becoming more difficult to
determine.
