The Future Workforce Companies that figure out the development needs of their employees are actually mastering the challenge of the future workforce. How is that any different from what it's always been? Specialists in workforce qualities say it is different because of who the young talent is (Generations X, Y, and Z) and more importantly what they want out of life. Instead of getting bogged down in generalities about generations, future-thinking companies have addressed the matter pragmatically: First, how do new-hires fit into future workforce jobs and their organizations?; And second, how do they address the future workforce's drive and desire for a dynamic life balance? To successfully address these issues one practice that companies will need to replace is unsystematic, impulsive opinion, passed off as "review from various angles". An excellent but difficult alternative is to apply developmentally useful and possibly continuous feedback for their future workforce.
