Today’s episode of The Future in 5 is about the five trends shaping the future of work. Now, I cover this topic in my book, The Future of Work, but I realized I’ve never shared this information with you in this format. Over the next couple of years, I think these are going to be pretty much the five trends to pay attention to: 1) Millennials, 2) new behavior, 3) mobility, 4) technology, and 5) globalization. These are the trends that organizations are, ultimately, trying to figure out what to do about. And, they are what I try to explore through my podcasts, videos, articles, etc. I’ll go into more detail about these trends in future episodes. But, in the meantime, I’d like to know what trends you’re most interested in, and what trends do you think will impact you and your organization the most? Listen in and give me your feedback.

With technology enhancing mobility, I wonder what becomes of the work place of the future. What will companies do to bring employees together in a valuable way? Should they? I think this is also related to the millennial conversation - with fewer responsibilities when you are earlier in your career - generally - you are likely to "go to the office" more regularly. Wonder what this will mean as well? Disconnects between the generations? Good conversation Jacob Morgan
