Organizations today must navigate a ―new world of work‖ that requires a dramatic change in strategies for human resources. In this new world barriers between work and life have been all but eliminated. Employees are ―always on‖—hyper- connected to their jobs through pervasive mobile technology. Networking tools enable people to easily monitor the market for new job opportunities. Details about an organization‘s culture are available at the tap of a screen, providing insights about companies to employees and potential employees alike. The balance of power in the employer-employee relationship has shifted—making today‘s employees more like customers or partners than subordinates. An increasing number of skilled workers in this new world work on a contingent, part-time, or contract basis, so organizations must now work to integrate them into talent programs. New technologies are displacing workers and reengineering work, forcing companies to redesign jobs to incorporate new technology solutions. Demographic changes are also in play. Millennials, make up more than half the workforce, are taking center stage. Their expectations are vastly different from those of previous generations. They expect accelerated responsibility and paths to leadership. They seek greater purpose in their work. And they want greater flexibility in how that work is done.
