By nearly every measure, the workplace is rapidly evolving. But this new fluid workplace isn’t just about the work environment. Workplaces are increasingly project-based, and employees today are attracted to interesting problems and meaningful work, not just a job title.

Compared to decades past, today’s workplace is defined by:
• More flexible workspaces: 74 percent of employees have the ability to move to different areas to do their work
• More flexible work time: 52 percent of employees say they have some choice over when they work
• More remote working: 43 percent of employees work away from their team at least some of the time.
• More matrixed teams: 84 percent of employees are matrixed to some extent.

To be more agile in a project-based work environment, teams make more decisions without approval from above, which means non-managers must act more like leaders and think more “big picture” like executives.
