Main categories of change in today’s workforce:

• Workforce Location: The domestic and/or global relocation of your business
• Business process re-engineering: The analysis and change in workflows and processes within an organization
• Technological change: Integrating new, innovative technology
• People Changes: Integrating new roles and responsibilities in response to Regulatory; managing attrition

Changes are primarily driven by management to increase revenue, decrease
the cost of doing business or due to a merger, acquisition, external
regulatory change or even the economy. Successful change means creating a
strategy that links the people, the process, and the technology to create a
better future state.
