Statistics on the Changing
Workplace
- In 1994, 62%
of the jobs that were eliminated were
supervisory, managerial or professional
(compared to 44% in 1991) and 85% of
those who have lost white collar jobs
will never get them back
- Work that
used to require a hundred workers a few
years ago can be done by fifty today and
probably ten tomorrow
- Jobs are a
social artifact - intelligence is the new
form of property
- We work on
average 20 hours per month more than our
parents did after W.W. II
- 80% of jobs
will be taken over by automation or
cheaper labour in other countries
- 35% of North
Americans in the labour force either are
unemployed or are temporary, part time or
contractual workers (in Europe the figure
is 50%)
- The
employee-employer contract has now been
broken and loyalty to the organization no
longer ensures job security
- Technology is
complex and no one person can
"know" a function completely;
we will need to collaborate with each
other
- Organizations
are becoming flatter and more horizontal
- Bureaucracy
is ineffective when dealing with the
multidimensional complexity caused by the
diversity of customers, employees,
partners, suppliers and technologies
- Functional-based
work based on single skills are being
replaced by project based work with
multi-skilled knowledge workers
