Gone are the days of 9-5 jobs! This is the era of on-demand workforce. The multigenerational workforce, demand for flexible working conditions and the changing nature of organizations, work and workplace are the factors driving the change.
In case you haven’t heard yet, change is coming to the workplace – and fast. According to a report Intuit prepared with Emergent Research, the self-employed workforce has grown from 17% of the total US workforce 25 years ago to 36% today, and is expected to reach 43% by 2020.
During my 31-year naval career, when I thought of personnel management/human resources, I tried to simplify the terms by saying that PM/HR involved 3 basic categories: pay, records, and orders. I found that these 3 things concerned sailors (and me) the most during a career.

It’s an oft-repeated truth that HR leaders are surely bored of hearing by now: millennials will soon make up the largest generational cohort in the workforce. They expect that will mean more job-hopping, more demands for free food and everyone will offer rooftop yoga at lunchtime to keep employees engaged.
The rise of technology has enabled more people to create their life around their work. A ‘life-first’ attitude is prevalent among millennials and this is quickly impacting all generations as human beings seek to have a fulfilled life, not a ‘work-filled life’.
As a recruiter or employer, you want to hire the right person the first time. The reality is, you will never achieve this goal with each individual you hire. Employees will come and go, despite your best efforts. Once you accept that fact, you can move on and do the best you can.
Millennials, Millennials, Millennials. Very much in line with Millennials’ insatiable desire for recognition, it seems like the last ten years of articles, videos, and speeches, were all about them.
