Topic
Focusing on Skills, Rather Than Jobs, to Meet Future Workforce Needs
To create better matches between employees and work, companies will need to focus on skills that will be needed in future roles. How can employers anticipate those skills, identify adjacent ones, and use technology to align employees with opportunities for upskilling and reskilling? What are the best ways to anticipate future roles, so that career paths and succession plans can be put into place?
