Workplace
The next phase of work requires an intentional focus on the workplace and the employee’s workplace experience. The focus must shift to creating an UX in the workplace to create the optimum employee experience across technology, workspace, policy and management. Organisations may say they care about their staff, but caring isn’t the same as understanding the needs and designing a workplace that creates an unique experience.
In our pursuit to succeed more and more of us are faking it and convincing themselves that it is okay to fake it till you make it. Too many are not true to one's own personality, spirit, or character or true to their experience in work-life.

Change is the constant - a refrain we have heard repeatedly till you read it and shrug your shoulders and move on with life. However, change is something we all must deal with; confront or learn to live with.

There is no escaping change, especially as the way we work is also undergoing massive change, where mobility and digital sophistication becomes a key requirement in the workplace and redefining how organization works commercially and culturally to deliver genuine customer experience
How we handle or tackle these changes will determine how we successfully adapt to change. True, we all have our own ways to handle change. Some of us handle it well and some of us do not handle it well.
The way we work is also undergoing massive change, where mobility and digital sophistication becomes a key requirement in the workplace and redefining how organization works commercially and culturally to deliver genuine customer experience. The workplace is digitally being disrupted – “The fourth industrial revolution is creating prospects of a future that few fully comprehend, but the implications for the world of work are already taking shape”. More and more of our work is done collaboratively, securely and productively. There is no doubt that the relationship between technology and humanity is changing very fast and it is shaping the way we work. The future of work is slowly creeping into our collective psychic in the workplace
