Emerging trends at workplace 1
Globalization of economies has led to the creation of a multigenerational workforce in
the organizations. It has led to increasing in competition among the firms and develops the
need to adapt the innovative changes in the technology and the workplace to maintain its
competitive advantage over its competitors and expand the market share by attracting the new
potential customers. In the modern business, organizations consist of the multi-generational
workforce who has different perceptions, attitudes and the values. Such a difference in
perceptions creates conflicts among the workers and however hampers the growth of the
organization by a decrease in the productivity of the firm (Deborah, 2012).
The emerging trends at the workplace of Australia are the shift towards the non-
routine jobs from the routine jobs, the difference in perceptions of the employees due to the
large generational gaps and the adoption of the automation of the technology develops the
need to incubate the fresh talent who will skilfully handle the complexities of the business.
The importance of casual workers in increasing because organizations prefer employees
based on non-routine jobs (Hogan, 2016).
The workforce participation of the women has also increased in Australia having a
highly skilled workforce and achieving success for the organization. The Australian
workforce consists of four generations who have different working styles, perceptions,
attitude, beliefs needs and expectations which can lead to the creation of conflicts among the
workforce (Cole, Oliver & Blaviesciunaite, 2014).

Adaption of the emerging trends at the Australian workplace has developed the need
to redesign the human resource management process and to critically examine and develop
the policies that focus more on employee recruitment and retention. The HR planning has
become more complex because adoption of the new technologies and implementation of the
emerging trends requires the recruitment of the highly skilled workforce who is able to

than before because the policies developed under the human resource management program
ensures that right amount of workforce is recruited at the right time so that productivity of the
company can be improved and the organization can effectively achieve its objectives (Martin
& Ottemann, 2016).
The globalization of the countries has increased the chances of mobility of the
workforce because the employees have received the opportunity to transfer to the places that
suit them the most. However, the organization must focus on retention of the employees by
attracting and motivating them through rewards and recognition (Cole, Oliver &
Blaviesciunaite, 2014).
The organization must design the jobs according to the changing requirements of the
business so that the complexities can be handled in an efficient manner and does not hamper
