5 WAYS THE WORLD IS CHANGING FOR THE
BETTER

• Are you one of those who

see the glass half full or half
empty? Do you think that the
world is moving positively or
that, on the contrary, in many
ways things are out of
control and worse than ever?
I guess it depends on how
you look at it.
5 WAYS THE WORLD IS CHANGING FOR THE
BETTER

• I am not saying that we have to ignore

realities such as the migration crisis, the
obvious effects of climate change or the
effects of Covid-19, however, yes, perhaps
derived from all of these there are some
points that 10 years ago we would not
have dreamed of and that today are a
global trend. Here are 5 ways we believe
the world is getting better:
1. COMPANIES HAVE TO RETHINK THEIR
MODELS IF THEY WANT TO ATTRACT AND
RETAIN TALENT
• According to a Gallup poll, 70% of American workers are
unhappy at their jobs. 60% of the English also… And so we
could continue with many other countries. True, it is better to
have a job than not to have it, but among those who have it,
it seems that the lack of purpose and the dissatisfaction that
this causes becomes more and more evident. On the other
hand, it has been shown that an inspired employee is three
times more efficient than one who is not. Companies are
beginning to pay attention to this data and in more and more
cases, the focus is on improving employee satisfaction
beyond paying their monthly salary.
2. ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS NOT JUST ENTREPRENEURSHIP, IT IS SOCIAL

Partly related to the above, new initiatives

and companies are not only looking for an
economic benefit. Sustainability is
needed, but enterprises today in many
cases, seek to generate some kind of
social impact. Social entrepreneurship
gains followers and more are the people
who decide to undertake based on the
identification of a problem. It is obvious
that having a sustainable project that also
generates some type of social or
environmental impact is doubly
satisfactory and not only benefits you.
3. EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS ARE REVIEWING THEIR EFFICIENCY

Some talk about how we have developed models

that perpetuate and replicate followers of the
system, which turns people into totally ‘ordinary
’human beings. Many are the voices that are
raised questioning the effectiveness of the exams,
wearing a uniform, homework ... Many are the
people who are rethinking education beyond the
established paradigms. They bet on exploring
beyond what is known to create seres
extraordinary ’beings, instead of‘ ordinary
’beings. There are many concepts that are used:
empathy, creativity, collaboration, education in
values, empowerment… Some examples are
found in changemakers schools or learning based
on the Finnish experience.
4. RESPONSIBLE CONSUMERS
On the one hand, we can talk about how more and
more people question the consumerist model. Fewer
people use cars and more people sign up to pedal,
more people exchange clothes, buy second-hand
products, share apartments, cars, offices… We are
more aware of how consumerism is not the answer,
and more are those who decide to act in
consecuense. This together with the fact that when
we consume we do it in a more conscious way,
taking into account where things come from, what
ingredients are used and under what conditions they
are produced, makes us think that out there and even
if it is not at the speed we would like, we continue to
see progress.
5. COLLABORATE NOT COMPETE
Collaborate instead of compete, share
instead of multiply ... The paradigm of the
self-made man in competition with the one
next door is being questioned. And what is
the point in a planet populated by millions
and millions of people, we all go our way?
Joining forces is certainly better than
replicating the wheel and together we are
much more powerful than each on our
own. The mindset is changing and it's
contagious, or at least here we want to
believe it. Do you think so too?
