Happy New Year! 2017 has arrived and with it comes a time to evaluate your personal and professional goals. What will 2017 bring for the workplace industry and how will this affect your business plans? Phoenix Business Journal article highlights ten trends we can expect this year:
1. Generation Z enters the workplace
2. More emphasis on flexibility – driven by Millennials and Gen Z

4. A more casual workplace
5. A blended workforce – free-lance and full-time employees teaming up
6. New perspectives on employee benefits
7. Virtual reality technologies to aid in recruitment
8. Organizational restructuring with a focus on the team as a whole
