Employers who use IT often make complementary innovations in their organizations and in the services they offer.

By 2008, it is estimated that 41 million corporate employees worldwide will work at least one day per week virtually. As well, 65% of virtual team members have said they have never been involved in an effective team-building meeting, and 36% of the team members had never met their coworkers face-to-face.

As the economy changes and develops, so does the workplace. Just 100 years ago, the primary occupations were agricultural, and a fairly small percentage of labor lived in cities. In 2011, this relation has reversed. Workplaces have changed radically as the nature of the modern American economy has gone from agricultural to industrial and, especially since the 1970s, from industrial to postindustrial. These changes have radical implications for the modern workplace.
