Dear Friends,

How have workplaces changed in the last ten years according to you? Please help me distinguish between the workplace of the past and the present-day workplace.

Interesting topic. Yes, I see a big change in people's behavior. They are all work-centric, and developing personal relationships with any employee has reduced. Nobody bothers if you are going through a tough time. They wait for you to make mistakes. Not supportive... This wasn't the case earlier. It was more family-like, concerned about other colleagues. Hope this takes a good turn.

Thank you for the response. I am looking to create a comparison of the changes in the workplace over the last 10 years in all aspects that come to mind. It would be extremely helpful if I could receive as many of your valuable suggestions as possible.

DISTINGUISH BETWEEN

Workplace of the Past: Present-Day Workplace

The evolution has started from being more technically sound and being more and more paperless. It is more often found companies investing in softwares that can reduce work pressures and paperwork to ensure minimum wastage with the aim of increased productivity.

With regards to the workplace environment, coffee machines, some snacks, cafeteria, special benefits for women employees, leave calendars, incentive-based packages, etc., have been added to boost the morale of the employees. Workplace hygiene has garnered attention to help employees remain stress-free if they have to spend long hours at work.

All these changes, though in the Indian context, have been emulated from the culture that is so-called "global" based on surveys conducted there, focusing on workplace culture and its effects on employees.

Hi,
