3 Business Trends for the New Year

Corporate Business Solutions is a leading business consulting firm recognized throughout the United States. We offer the valuable information that is often necessary for growth in the small and medium – size business marketplace.

As we approach 2017, we are looking at business trends that are expected to affect the New Year: 

1. Cyber Security - The number of Internet users with portable devices is constantly increasing. Therefore, the number of cyber-attacks is expected to rise. Companies will continue to be concerned with potential cyber-attacks and privacy data breaches in 2017 and the impact that these incidents could have on them. These incidents can be catastrophic for a company, as customers may not feel secure working with them in the future or they may lose their competitive advantages that led them to success. Existing standards of the cyber security world will need to adapt to the current threat situation. 
2. Advancing Technology - Businesses are expected to invest in harnessing emerging technologies and applying them to their business roadmap. Business owners will focus on developing IT tools (ERM, CRM, etc.) and analytics and on building IT technologies to implement their platforms with insights they get from data mining. This year we will see businesses trying more effectively to leverage breakthroughs in science to use for their business strategy.
3. Improving Employee Engagement - In the upcoming year, all-size businesses will continue their efforts to improve employee engagement. As we have discussed recently, an engaged employee is one who is enthusiastic and fully committed to his job, working hard to achieve organization’s goals and improve brand image. Employee engagement is a competitive advantage for a company through its people. The top three drivers that the organizations should focus in order to maintain or increase employee engagement are career opportunities, brand alignment, and recognition. Companies are launching initiatives to ensure their workplace approach results in the right conditions for all members of an organization to give of their best each day.
