The Workplace of the Future

This month in Time magazine there was a great piece on the workplace 
of the future. No briefcases, no bosses, no office (except maybe at 
your house or your local Starbucks), and no career ladder. Wow, this 
sounds great – where do I sign up? On the flipside there will be no 
benefits, no job security, no company retirement, and no place to 
hide. I knew it sounded too good to be true.

Will these trends be bad or good? Will they create constant change 
pressures or endless opportunities? Will they provide you with more 
freedom or will you be a prisoner to your own workaholic ways?

The answers to these questions depend on whether you’re currently 
sinking, floating or swimming. Do you have the habits and strategies 
to be energized? Is your gas tank full, ½ full, or empty? Have you 
trained your resilience and expanded your capacity? Is your brain 
functioning at full potential? If you have the right Sustainable High 
Performance habits the world will be your new workplace and you will 
enjoy as much success as you want. If you don’t – you better get 
started.

I just read a trend that right now only 7% of the insured Americans are self insured. That is, they pay for their own health insurance. The rest are employer paid programs. In the next 5 years this number is projected to shift to 25%. This will not only change the game for health insurance companies it will also change the way workers approach their health. So it looks like the workplace won't be the only change of the future, the healthspace will also change.

I'm ready for this new way of working. I am tired of floaters. By the way, your book is awesome. It's a real game changer. Thanks!

I work for a large consulting company and we consult companies on this workplace 2.0 which is what you described perfectly. What I've never heard any company, or anyone for that matter, talk about is the development of your own habits and strategies to thrive in this new workplace. Awesome job. I can't wait to read the book. Looking forward to July 1.
