• The Training Department
in the 21st Century Workplace
Harold Jarchewww.jarche.com
How will the training function need to change
to reflect the workplace?
19th Century
The work environment was relatively simple and best practices for management and communications were developed that still inform many of our current work
practices.

The information age emerged and organisations had to deal with complicated environments. The flood of management books is an example that there was no single best practice,
only good practices.
21st Century

Our work environments are becoming complex, blurring the lines between work, home and play. We now have access to
anyone at anytime.
