"We filled the vacancy the next day"
Gartner predicts rapid workplace changes
Companies must implement IT systems to support huge changes in the workplace over the coming decade, according to Gartner.
The analyst firm is set to outlines its proposals at the Gartner Portals, Content and Collaboration Summit in London next month but published a summary of its ideas.
As employers and their staff encounter "increasingly chaotic environments that are out of their control", Gartner urged decision makers to devise new IT-based strategies to confront the new challenges.
"Work will become less routine, characterised by increased volatility, hyper-connectedness and more," said Tom Austin, a vice president and Gartner fellow.
He added that businesses should seek to identify the changes that will affect them most and then assess their technology needs.
Gartner's summary also said social networks will grow in importance as people working remotely from one another require information sharing tools.
The proposals follow Gartner's publication of a code of conduct for IT maintenance, detailing seven consumer rights.
