World of employment 'will undergo major changes' by 2020
The world of work as we currently know it will undergo ten major changes in the coming decade, according to the latest report.
A study carried out by industry analyst Gartner shows that organisations will need to plan for "increasingly chaotic environments" out of their direct control, as trends such as the 'de-routinisation of work' and 'work swarms' occur.
According to the organisation, work swarms occur when companies use every available person to focus on a task, and are likely to be far more prevalent in 2020 as firms look for cost-effective strategies.
Gartner added that the concept of 'my place' will also come to the fore in the workplace - which is the idea that the lines between personal, professional, social and family matters, along with organisation subjects, will disappear.
The research follows a study by Association of Professional Staffing Companies which showed that almost a third of recruiters intend to expand overseas in the next 12 months.
