- Synopsis
- Changes in the demographics of the workforce, the shift toward a knowledge-driven economy, the structure of family life, the evolution of enabling technology, and the nature of work itself are challenging the firmly rooted corporate-ladder model of career progression. A new latticelike model is emerging in its place, opening alternative paths for high-performing, high-potential employees to not only contribute to achieving strategic priorities in the short term but to remain connected to the organization in ways that allow for greater contributions over the long term. This chapter summarizes four major workforce challenges facing organizations today and describes how mass career customization (MCC)-the framework behind the lattice structure-will help business leaders address each in the coming years. This chapter is excerpted from "Mass Career Customization: Aligning the Workplace with Today's Nontraditional Workforce."
