Some thoughts about the future (around here)…

80% of workers were here 10 years ago.

80% of workers will not be here 10 years from now.

The loss of institutional knowledge will be huge.

Those who remain will be needed to step up.

We have skipped a generation in this division.The members of Generation X are few.It will be Generation Y, those who have grown up on the Internet, which will take over.They are very different from the Baby-Boomers in work-related values and work-style.Changes will be needed to recruit, manage and retain them.They will not be coming here out of school and staying for life.

What do you think of when I mention a work-world without personal computers, DVDs or CDs in our cubes?I think of the future about 20 years away.

But that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong… :)
