World of Work Is Changing

Businesses need to help educate their people and increase their awareness about what the workplace could look like in the future. They also need to continue investing in training and development, ensuring it's aligned to business objectives. And staff need to be made aware of any training initiatives, so they can make the most of any opportunities that may arise.

For businesses to succeed in the new world, they need to stay on top of any future industry developments - and that requires a skilled workforce. However, if employees are too complacent about their current skillsets, there's a risk that they won't be developing their skills in the right areas.

Individuals meanwhile, must take responsibility for driving their own development. They need to think carefully about what skills they need to develop, both now and in the future, and work with their manager to seek out solutions to help them enhance their skills and knowledge.

It also gives us a different perspective, helping us see why a more equal combination of men and women in leadership would improve creativity and innovation. As a consequence, the change would lead to positive economic and socio-cultural change.
