A new generation of workers is seeking collaborative
and inclusive workplaces where they feel valued, trusted,
and part of an agile and innovative team.
SEEKING A BETTER WORKCULTURE
The “best place to work” is an important indicator of
employees’ satisfaction with their workplace and is widely
used in the media to attract and retain top talent.
To attract the most talented employees, organizations
have to compete by using more than just remuneration,
generous benefits or brand reputation. This is no longer
a task for HR exclusively, but an orchestrated effort of IT,
facilities, and business leaders to ensure the workplace
delivers the best employee experience.
New entrants to the workforce, such as Millennials and
Gen Z, are seeking collaborative and inclusive workplaces
where they feel valued, trusted, and part of an agile and
innovative team. They also want a well-balanced blend of
work and life in which the former becomes a genuine part
of the latter. Their habits and expectations are shaping the
future of the WorkCulture.
The future of WorkCulture is manifest in many companies.

digital training programs and digital cooperatives to
compete more effectively in talent wars.

device as a service contract in place, with many moving
beyond PCs, tablets, and smartphones to embrace
categories such as wearables and AR/VR.
By 2022, 30% of European enterprises will move from
traditional talent sourcing models toward virtual,
borderless, and task-oriented approaches, integrating
online communities and platforms to acquire skills and
temporary staff.
