There is a lot of concern about employability, skills and future prospects in the labour market. According to a study by the IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV), 120 million workers in twelve of the world’s largest economies will need to be retrained as a result of the digital transition. A report by McKinsey & Co estimates that 2030 million jobs will disappear worldwide by 800. That’s just 8 years from now!
IBM found that many organizations struggle to find and retain talent and well-trained employees. The vast majority of these organizations still use traditional recruiting and training strategies and find it difficult to find the right people.
Talented and educated people are a source of innovation and progress and their skills are the driving force behind economic growth.
Rapid technological developments, together with changing business models, are causing major market shifts. Those developments, combined with various disruptive economic changes, have created a perfect storm. The result is a looming global talent shortage and too many employees who will no longer be able to grow with it.
There is a gap in society, a skills gap. What we have now in terms of skills and what is still being taught in schools and other educational institutions will no longer be relevant in the future.
Change is inevitable, but how do you stay future-proof and how do you stay interesting as an employee?
It is clear that people who have a high adaptability (AQ: Adaptability Quotient) and are resilient will do the best. They will also be the workers whose jobs will not be threatened by robots, AI and automation. It is also important to have a mindset that change is inevitable and that you can and should do something about it yourself and be prepared to change at any moment.
As change guides, we know that one of the best ways to face the future with confidence is to take your own skills to the next level. Because new skill requirements will arise while existing skills become obsolete.
