Are you hiring employees of the past or employees of the future and Do You Need People Analytics?
How we think about employees and what they value has changed drastically over the years. Decades ago, employees were there to punch their time cards and climb the corporate ladder. Even just a few years ago, employees were forced to follow strict schedules, hierarchies, and rules.
But that’s not the case anymore.
Employees have been evolving for years in what they value, what they expect from a job, and how they want to work.
Those changes are no longer in the future—the future employee is here. I created this image when I wrote my book, The Future of Work in 2014! It recently went viral on social media generating millions of views and it’s precisely because this evolution is becoming a reality.
Employees no longer want to be limited to career development based on what conferences or workshops are available; they want to take control of their learning and share their skills with others.
These are just a few ways employees are changing. These changes aren’t just minor surface-level adjustments—they are seismic shifts in how employees view their purpose, future, and career.
Going forward, the divide between companies hiring employees of the past and those hiring employees of the future will grow even wider.
Jo Ann Jenkins, CEO of AARP, told me this: “Organizations that are not continually learning and adapting will lose their competitive edge and ultimately won’t survive. We’ve seen this over and over, and we’ll see it happen more often and faster in the future. Moreover, organizations that do not develop a learning culture will not be able to hire and retain the kinds of talent they need to succeed. Those people will just go somewhere else.”
Succeeding in the future comes down to understanding how employees are evolving and creating a forward-focused organization that supports those changes.
Based on my research and interviews with more than 140 top global CEOs, I found the 11 ways employees are changing. The image I made of my findings went viral and was seen by millions of people on LinkedIn. I’ve compiled and expanded how employees are changing and included action items all companies can take to adapt.
Don’t miss out on your chance to better understand employees and learn how to attract and retain the best talent—even in this wild talent landscape.

I have heard I’m not really a water-person statement so many times. But what does it really mean? You come from water, you drink water, and it turns out – water knows you very well whether or not you want to be part of the relationship. We are all water people, you might just not […]
Eddie Botes, Leadership and Culture Speaker wrote this article, Critical Thinking for the Adaptive Leader.

It’s hard to believe twenty years have passed since I was honoured and humbled to carry the 2020 Olympic Torch Hindsight to Rekindle Embers of Hope, on the day of the opening ceremonies of the Sydney 2000 Olympics; one of only 26 people before Cathy Freeman lit the cauldron in the stadium. I’d been privileged […]

Over the last year as You Want to Be an Authentic Leader, you’ve worn countless sweatshirts on Zoom calls, taken meetings while walking, and even brought Fido, your adorable Shih Tzu, into a few calls. Well done. However, and I hate to break it to you, that doesn’t necessarily make you an “authentic leader”. The […]
What many people don’t realize is that they can actually Make Your Own Luck, by changing their beliefs about themselves and what will happen in their lives. This sounds absurd, but it makes a lot of sense once you understand the logic behind it all. People tend to think that luck is something that is out […]
