This report looks toward the workplace of the year 2000 and describes how current trends could affect United Way programs and operations. To identify trends for the report, the research committee used two futures research methods: the Delphi process and environmental analysis. Using these techniques, the committee identified eight major trends on which this report focuses and four other trends that merit close watching. The eight trends center on personal and family concerns; underused groups; education, training, and retraining; the corporate environment; small businesses; the global marketplace; automation; and employment prospects. The other four trends include Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, related issues, worker privacy, a rising number of the medically indigent, and older workers. Finally, the committee suggests how these trends may affect the future and how United Way may be affected. Appendixes to the report include a resource list and a 20-item bibliography. (KC)
