Digitization, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotic process automation (RPA) are turning the world of work on its head—and the workplace is changing right along with it.

And as Baby Boomers retire, the war for talent has pushed workplace strategy to the forefront. Instead of just cutting costs, companies need workplaces that attract and retain talent, and inspire high performance.
