The workplace is rapidly changing — from the way we communicate and collaborate to the benefits and perks that attract and retain generations of workers unlike any other. Only companies that embrace these differences and plan accordingly will adapt and thrive in the workplace of 2020.
According to a recent benchmarking study by , The New Ways of Working, many organizations are formalizing “Alternative Workplace” programs that combine nontraditional work practices, settings and locations.
1 Almost half of the surveyed organizations have started an alternative workplace program within the past two years and a large majority within the past five years. This is striking as these programs have been around since the early 1980s.

This paper identifies five trends that are dramatically changing work and workplaces.
