Workplaces have changed a lot in the last decade, but in the last 2 years, the rate of that change has accelerated exponentially. In 2020, for example, we saw 10 years of technological change in just 10 months.
After all, we’re in the midst of an era of change in the workplace known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. New tools and methods are emerging (such as automation and artificial intelligence (AI)) that allow companies to make better products and services. The COVID-19 crisis has helped push this technological revolution forward and transformed the way we work. Although we were already heading toward a remote and digital-first workforce, the pandemic made it a necessity. As a result, the physical and digital realms have crossed over, creating new avenues for work and industry.
Employers have been forced to adapt to these changes in the workplace to survive—and we can be sure that more changes will come in 2022. So how can employers help employees continue to embrace change? How can they encourage employees to see change as a positive thing rather than just another workplace stressor?
