Employers take note. Employees had some interesting things to say about how they would define the ideal workplace of the future. We have compiled a Top 10 list that should help to shape the way you think about engaging your employees in new and different ways.

	1. Quality, character and culture Old fashioned values take on more importance in fast-paced times.
	2. Empowerment and accountability Give a little and you will get a lot in return.
	3. Talent, not 'Property' Employees are assets. Invest, don’t handcuff.
	4. Eliminate the gatekeepers Communication and learning comes from everywhere.
	5. Performance and impact The new measures of success. Not face time and air miles.
	6. Creativity is the new currency Inspire unconventional and creative thinking. You never know where your best ideas will come from.
	7. Flat is where it's at - Everyone is a contributor Do away with rankism, special privileges, gender, generation and colour.
	8. Community is where we work and live Accountability for greener workplaces and workforces (in and out of office).
	9. Inspire, don't acquire As employment models change, full time employment isn’t always the answer.
	10. Transparency is believability Trust is built or lost every day.
