2. Tools to help with
personal brand
Personal branding has helped peo-
ple like Anthony Robbins and Op-
rah Winfrey create world-renowned
brands. The internet opened up the
playing field to make it much more
even, so people who may have never
succeeded at anything in life, such as
myself, have a shot at making it big.
So many people are releasing similar
products, that the competition in the
market continues to grow. Personal
branding tools will start trending even
more, helping businesses gain indi-
viduality and reduce the number of
direct competitors. Look into person-
al branding tools to increase business
in 2017.
3. Focuson training remote
employees
10 years ago, you may have never
even heard of a remote employee.
Nowadays, tech companies and start-
ups are doing most of their hires re-
motely. IBM led this trend and many
other companies have followed suit.
Since meetings can be done over
Skype or other video conference plat-
forms and customer service, social
media and programming positions
only require access to the comput-
er and Internet, talented Millennials
can be hired for positions no matter
where they live.
4. Businesses embrace
the Millennials, instead of
rejecting them
You may think Millennials are ma-
terialistic, narrow-minded and self-
ish. But that isn’t the case. They just
don’t work in the same way that baby
boomers do. They look for creative
ways to do their job better and are
constantly looking for ways to improve
the processes in the workforce. This
leads to innovation and helps jump-
start change within large organiza-
tions. Ian Altman sees a trend where
businesses are starting to embrace
Millennials and cater to their needs.
This will be seen even more as the
generation takes over more of the job
force in 2017.”
