Week 11

Learnt

Composition of the New Workforce

Today's workforce reflects a change in the age mix, gender, ethnic composition, number of immigrants, and number of persons with disabilities.
There is also a greater emphasis on diversity-driven work environments - workplaces that embrace employees with multiple dimensions of similarities and differences.

Diversity is increasingly being viewed as an ongoing strategic business imperative. Successful diversity programs treat all people with equal regard, incorporate different skills and interests to enhance an organization, and result in increased productivity and profits.

Indeed, a new form of workplace loyalty may be emerging, whereby employees will outline what they can do for the company, as well as identify the approximate period of time they plan to stay in the job; in return, the employer will agree to provide training and resources, in addition to telling the employess what the company expects from them before the anticipated job change.


Unlearnt

Time is essence. Trying to balance work, study and family life - prioritize reading by not memorizing facts, but understanding and selective reading on books summary.

Relearn

You started well with your observation on the learning. But I suggest you keep the momentum on the same topic when you reflect on unlearn and relearn.
