There’s some interesting survey results revolving around workers thoughts on where their job is at now and where it will be in 2025. In fact, only 1 in 10 people believe their job will be handled by an artificial intelligence ‘chatbot’ within a decade, and a staggering 1 in 3 feel the Monday to Friday will be redundant over the next 10 years, which certainly feels like it is going to happen, with many people working flexible hours and creating a life from their role.
In terms of technologies, the medical and financial services are frontrunners in support of technologies to mobilise their workforces, with 72% and 70% of decision makes respectively considering this a priority. If you think the way we’re going to be messaging will change, well maybe not quite, nearly half of employees still expect email to remain the primary means of communication. Not all workforces have been open to technologies so far though, with only 17% currently using IM, and 7% using video conferencing.
