今年，根据我公司对一系列可靠资源的初步研究和二次研究，我已跟踪到会给工作领域造成影响的职场十大趋势。他们集中在世代交替、自由职业者的崛起和技能差距等等。从专业的角度来看，当你做出职业抉择的时候，了解这些趋势将助你一臂之力。从企业的角度来看，这些趋势将有助于你做出更加明智的商业决策。这里是我列举出的前十大趋势：
1. Millennials will rise up。
1. “千禧一代”将崛起。
Despite all the reports of the poor economy and the high unemployment rate for Gen Y, they will start to get jobs again. They will become nearly 30% of the American workforce next year and that number will increase substantially in the next five to ten years. As millennials enter and boomers retire, new life will be breathed into corporations and policies will change rapidly。
虽然“Y世代”(1974-1980年出生的人)面临艰难的经济形势和高企的失业率，但是他们将重新开始找到工作。明年他们在美国就业人口中所占比例将接近30%，在未来五到十年，那个数字还将大幅增加。随着“千禧一代”(1984-1995年出生的人)加入劳动大军和婴儿潮(1946-1964年出生的人)一代的退休，企业被注入新的生机，政策将迅速改变。
2. Working from home becomes mainstream。
2. 在家工作成为主流。
We’ve heard some companies trusting their employees enough to let them work from home. In 2013, companies will realize the cost savings and the productivity increase and give their employees more flexibility. While in years past flexibility programs were viewed as a perk, they will become more standardized and expected. One of the best examples is Aetna. 47% of their 35,000 employees work from home and they have saved an estimated 15% to 25% on real estate costs at an annual savings of about $80 million。我们都听说因为一些企业对他们的员工足够信任以至允许他们在家办公。2013年，企业将不仅意识到在家工作有助节约成本和提高工作效率，还将给予其员工更多的灵活性。在过去的几年中，虽然弹性工作制被视为是一种福利，但他们将变得更加标准化，需求也将越来越大。最好的案例之一就是美国安泰保险公司(Aetna)。在该公司3.5万人的员工当中，有47%的职员在家工作，如此一来，这能够为公司省下15%到25%的办公场地成本，每年节省的经费估计高达越8,000万美元。
3. Emphasis on employee engagement。
3. 重视员工敬业度。
