As societies evolve, so do our ways of doing business. In the past, large companies were often very hierarchical, with hundreds – if not thousands – of people working together in the same place, at the same time. Times have changed, and today’s focus is very much on flexibility, with working patterns becoming increasingly catered to the needs of employees. In a competitive market for attracting and retaining 21st century talent, new trends in the workplace are emerging all the time. Here are four key trends that HR managers and SME leaders need to be aware of.

Sodexo Benefits Rewards and Services, now Pluxee Philippines, announces partnership with Primer Group of Companies as a merchant affiliate, adding 26 additional brands with over 300 stores nationwide to Pluxee's digital merchant network.

The effects of climate change continue to be felt in our everyday lives. Case in point: heat waves, wildfires, and intense flooding are no longer isolated cases. In fact, the UN has reported that the magnitude of these consequences has never been seen before in history. The question remains: is it too late to act?
Short answer: No, we still have time to turn things around.
This is why we at Pluxee, a Sodexo company, are pulling out all the stops to lessen our carbon footprint. With our commitment to reach NetZero targets no later than 2035, our goal is to contribute to a positive environmental impact this year and beyond.
