Evolution of the UK Workforce

Published October 2008

Social, political, economic and demographic change is transforming global commerce, organisational structures and individual freedoms. Over the past 50 years, information technology has played a critical role in creating the conditions for change and in helping organisations adapt to it.

As we move towards a world that is more fluid, less centralised and less certain about old assumptions and old models, IT is evolving in ways that will empower organisations, teams and individuals to realise their potential in the ‘New World of Work’. More powerful software and computing systems, the Internet and pervasive wireless connectivity open the door to countless possibilities.

Companies throughout the UK are embracing the New World of Work and are enjoying the benefits of attracting and retaining the right people who are enabled to work flexibly and creatively while being productive, efficient and working as a team.
