New Videos Highlight Top 10 Trends

Are robots really coming for our jobs? Even I-O jobs? Tara Behrend, associate professor in the Department of Organizational Sciences and Communication at George Washington University and one of the coeditors of Workforce Readiness and the Future of Work, addresses this question in a 5-minute video that was recorded live at the Top 10 Trends IGNITE session during the 2019 Annual Conference, held last April at the Gaylord National Resort.

Automating Jobs and Tasks is #6 on that list and the video is one of three videos from the session that SIOP is pleased to feature this week as part of the 2019 Smarter Workplace Awareness Month celebration. 

During the IGNITE session, Kizzy Dominguez shared statistics and insights from practice about Diversity, Inclusion, and Equality, the #2 Trend for 2019. Tina Burke also shared valuable tips for translating research for business leaders and others in her presentation on Data Visualization, the #8 Trend.

Videos of the IGNITE presentations from the 2019 list are being posted on SIOP’s YouTube channel as they become available.  The 2016 Science for a Smarter Workplace video, which provides a great capsulized description of the profession, is also available there.

The Media Subcommittee of SIOP’s Visibility Committee began polling members about trends they are seeing in the workplace 7 years ago and released the first Top 10 Workplace Trends list in 2014. The two-part survey process will begin again this fall. Review all the past lists here, and watch your email for an invitation to participate in the 2020 survey.

Smarter Workplace Awareness Month began in 2015 as another Visibility Committee initiative. Over time the initiative has included several different types of outreach, and you can find many resources for sharing with clients, coworkers, and any relatives who might be unclear about what you do for a living on the Smarter Workplace Awareness Month web page. Watch for more member-generated content posted next week and help spread the word! Share these videos on your favorite social media platform to help spread the word about SIOP’s work to create a #SmarterWorkplace for everyone.
