The plights of the traditional unorganised and informal co-living sector are plenty Mark Twain once famously said: “Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.” Real estate is one of our most scarce resources. As per IBEF’s Real Estate Report (November 2020), the real estate sector in India is expected to reach US $ 1 trillion by 2030. By 2025, it will contribute 13 percent to the country’s GDP. The residential segment contributes nearly 80 percent of the real estate sector and the demand concentrated in metro cities constantly outmatches supply since India’s urban housing pyramid is a skewed one with the largest proportion of the population being under-served due to issues of affordability. The metro cities in India have witnessed rapid growth in-migration, which has put considerable pressure on the existing rental housing set-up which itself was not historically designed in order to cater to the demand. With more millennials entering the workforce and contributing towards a … [Read more...] about Future of co-living in India after COVID-19: 3 crucial factors

You know the rinse-and-repeat choreography: send X emails, make X calls , book X meetings and so on. But today’s SDRs are faced with an even greater uphill battle than ever before. Thanks to an increasingly content-fatigued audience whose inboxes are brimming — not to mention a rise in the popularity of automation and conversational artificial intelligence (AI) — SDRs need the right skills, tools and collateral to connect with the right leads and usher them through the buyer’s journey.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin If we meet the needs of the youngest working generation, we’ll most likely satisfy the rest of the workforce, too. Generation Z is a force to reckon with—and not just in your home. These tech-savvy, self-aware youngsters have incredible clarity about what they want at work. The good news is, if companies can satisfy the youngest working generation, they’ll most likely also meet the needs of the rest of the workforce. While there are certainly times to relate to people based on their generational traits, in general it’s counterproductive to create elaborate, generation-specific systems for dealing with workers of various ages. That’s why a benchmark generation like Gen Z can help employers understand what workers of all generations want from their employers. A new study released by TalentLMS , a learning management system backed by Epignosis alongside HR software BambooHR , sheds light on five key areas … [Read more...] about 5 Ways That Satisfying The Gen Z Workforce Can Help Every Other Working Generation
