Survey Data insights according to the Wall Street Journal
The coronavirus pandemic led to a reworking of the economy unlike any other since World War II,” according to The Wall Street Journal. This shift requires an innovative response from HR professionals in business, nonprofits, government, and education. As a result:

• 58% of the workforce needs new skill sets to do their jobs.
• 83% of industry association economists say employers in their sectors are finding it more difficult to fill jobs than they did five years ago.
• 55% of employees struggle to find and share organizational knowledge, and 61% are not satisfied with their company’s workplace technologies.
• Approximately 53% of college graduates are unemployed or working in a job that does not require a bachelor’s degree.

As a result, HR will need to change substantially in its accountability over the next 12 to 18 months.

Summary

In summary, skill-building has always been important, but recent events are raising the stakes. We’re now in what’s often called “the Fourth Industrial Revolution”, a time in which advances in AI and automation are revolutionizing the way we work. AI upskilling builds future-ready businesses and employees. Furthermore, almost every business will, in the future, become an AI business in some way.
