Lawrence Beck · Answer 1

Technology can change in a matter of months, while workplaces sometimes take decades to change.

Explanation:

Technological changes are rapidly occuring: this is as a result of constant research in the engineering world, therefore an employee has to be constantly updated with the current technological happenings in their area of specialty.

On the other hand, workplace changes in most cases are slower, this is because a very rapid change can affect a workplace balance, which is not good for any organization, as balance is needed to ensure effectiveness in the organization.

Therefore, it is correct to assume that technological changes can take weeks, while work place changes can take decades (years) to occur.
