New report from Sodexo shows that connectivity, innovations and uncertainty are rewriting the rules of the workplace; next-generation working styles are being defined by individuality, inclusiveness and techno-literacy; and we can expect to see more robots as colleagues
Paris, Feb. 9, 2017 - Sodexo, world leader in quality of life services, today released its 2017 Global Workplace Trends report, detailing the most critical factors affecting the world's workers and employers. The report, which can be downloaded here, is an insightful tool for employers navigating the changing workplace to push toward success.
The trends portray a workplace that blends work life with outside life, catering to employee needs through improvements in wellness, space design and learning programs. The modern workplace benefits from all generations teaching and learning from one another as well as leveraging individual strengths and the power of collaboration to meet personal and business goals.
"With this piece, we've distilled key findings from different sectors, generations and countries to produce a report that provides a holistic view of the global workplace," said Sylvia Metayer, CEO, Worldwide Corporate Services segment, Sodexo. "It's critical for business leaders to recognize the underlying trends driving change, to evaluate their significance and stay ahead of-rather than follow-them. As a top global employer providing quality of life services to 10,000 companies around the world, we have a front-row seat to seeing and understanding the factors that will shape the workplace of the future."
The featured 2017 Sodexo Workplace Trends include:
Metayer added: "The world is evolving rapidly, and in a sometimes contradictory fashion: small and large, local and global, traditional and modern. This impacts our individual understanding of quality of life. Organizations therefore need to be able to listen ever more closely to the voice of the individual, to be balanced and inclusive. A one-size-fits-all approach may be easier, but it's not going to lead to an engaged and high-performing workforce, today or tomorrow."
Sodexo Global Workplace Trends Report Methodology
Our system is grounded in primary and secondary research. Initial identification of trend topics came from research, including consulting global news sources focused on HR and the workplace, and through our own insights into workplaces around the globe. Once we had identified global topic-area experts, we conducted more than 55 hours of interviews (two to six expert interviews per trend). Secondary source material and statistics have been compiled from global news sources and research databases. We've curated trends by distilling the findings of our research into a report with relevancy to global workplaces.
