Saturday, November 01, 2003 the perfect workplace storm..Several phenomena are aligning: 1. massive Boomer retirement (beginning in 2005 and continuing for an entire generation) that will create an unprecedented human capital/expertise shortage, 2. the discovery of bottom-line value by way of 'offshoring' a lot of hi-tech piecemeal work, 3. a decreasing sense of the need to be 'an employee' of a company by Gen-Xrs and Gen-Yers (and their concomitant acceptance of being free agents) 4. the realisation by large companies of their long-term fiscal exposure as they confront the possibility of healthy retirees living another 40 years -- with equally healthy pensions (and the reluctant consideration by those companies that long-term, full-time employees may not be the best way to run a business) 5. an increasing social respectability of highly educated women to take a several-year break from the corporate-climbing to raise children (in some ways, creating a class of ambitious 'MBA-Moms' who are ready to explore other work/life balances) posted by Tom | 4:22 PM |
