The Workforce Of The Future - Priti Jha From XLRI
Experiencing a plethora of opportunities and salvaging on different flavors would be the modus vivendi of the workforce in the years to come. More frequent shifts in industries, jobs, locations and companies would extensively be practiced by the upcoming working class. By far, the world has witnessed personalities who have acquired proficiency in a particular job for decades and went on to hold key leadership positions eventually. N. Chandrasekaran, current CEO of TCS being a prime example of the same. But this would not be the case in future. In the upcoming years, Job involvement would be similar to the present levels or may be more but the job satisfaction may go for a toss. Employees would want to experience new roles and responsibilities over the span of their career instead of attempting to scale new heights in one particular industry. People are not to be blamed for becoming so dicey on the jobs that they would take up. The gamut of opportunities would turn out to be too attractive to be ignored. Thus, Talent mobility in the next decade with the globally connected workspace would set the world stage for the competitive spirits to display their expertise in varied fields. The workforce in turn would have some of the qualities that will set them apart from the present scenario.
