Outsourcing
Today more than ever, companies try to cut on cost and
save resources. One practice by which they are able to do
these is by outsourcing. Outsourcing is getting portions of work
done through outside suppliers rather than completing it
internally. the call center insdustry is an example of an
outsourcing practice that continues to expand in the country.

Changing workers' attitude and values

Different generations exhibit different qualities, attitudes,
and values. Recent years have focused on striking a balance
between work and life.Workers need to love their work but
should have other interests outside the office, too.

Demographics and diversity

With better medical care, people are living longer and life
expectancy increases. In the next 10 years, five generations -
traditionalists, Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z - will be
working together. different generations must be able to
capitalize on their tools while working harmoniously with one
another.

Globalization
Companies are extending their businesses on an internal
scale. Some companies are on a 24-hour operation scheme to
meet the demands of their clients and the global market. The
dispersion of work geographically makes it possible to get work
done.
