Deloitte has become, in our opinion, one of the key go-to sources of information and analysis on the future of work. Their recent article Redefining work, workforces, and workplaces is a good example. In a relatively short article, it nicely synthesizes and explains "multiple converging trends and how they are already fundamentally changing all aspects of work."   As the article chart above shows (click to enlarge), they focus on three main areas: work, workforce and workplace.

"Risk shift" is the trend towards economic and other risks - and the responsibility for risk management - being shifted from institutions to individuals.  Examples include corporations shifting more responsibility for retirement, career planning and healthcare to their employees and governments reducing social safety net programs. Political scientist Jacob Hacker explored this trend in-depth in his 2006 book The Great Risk Shift.

Let’s face it: Everyone has had an intimidating boss. After all, there’s a clear hierarchy in the relationship—bosses are inherently “superior” to employees. They have authority over you. They can, in essence, make or break your career future. So, it’s only natural if you feel somewhat on edge in their presence. But some bosses can be tougher than others.

When you envision the typical office environment, do you see greenery, natural light and a clear view of an adjacent landscape? The average person associates their office with worn carpeting, buzzing light fixtures and tall partitions. The most they see of nature is from motivational posters on the wall.

The play Fiddler on the Roof recently came through my city, and my friend kept singing her dad’s favorite song from that hit: “If I Were a Rich Man.”. My comment? “I’m glad the lyricist got the grammar right!”. Why is the use of “were” (not “was”) correct in this song title and similar phrases? Consider the conditional meaning associated with using an “if” clause.
