Webcast Replay: The Workforce of the Future Begins and Ends with People
Webcast Replay from November 5, 2019
Few things matter more to business success than people, and that is especially true during today’s digital transformation when so much of what the workforce does is being automated. The workforce of the future will be markedly different in significant ways from any of its predecessors and few businesses are prepared despite the rapid approach of change. Oxford reports that just 19% of organizations report having made significant progress toward building a workforce capable of meeting 2020 business objectives. It’s no surprise then that business and HR leaders alike are preparing for a potential talent and skills crisis.
Organizations are becoming more focused on transforming their workforces and seeking answers regarding what that transformation needs to look like. With the future of work predictions, it appears obvious that even the most agile, flexible, forward-thinking organizations will be hard-pressed to find, engage, and retain high-performing talent. Learning and skills development programs will be crucial to establishing a workforce that can pivot in an ever-changing, highly competitive business environment.
Organizations planning to thrive in the decade to come, are preparing to build a capable workforce of the future by taking the following actions:
- Exploring today's complex demographic scenario
- Analyzing how innovative organizations are building a culture that democratizes talent
- Understanding what learning while working means, why it matters and how it occurs
- Applying programs designed for group learning to increase knowledge retention, focus and engagement.
