What Does A Workforce Built For The Future Look Like?

When you hear that 58% of human tasks will likely be automatable by 2025 (World Economic Forum), it’s no wonder that 72% of Americans say they are worried about technology replacing human jobs (Pew Research Center). However, the future of jobs is bright. An estimated 133 million new jobs will be created in place of the 75 million that will be displaced by 2022, resulting in 58 million net new jobs. Are you ready to help lead the shift?

The workforce for the future will be Human-Led and Technology-Enabled, continuously using technology to unlock and augment human potential.

A workforce built for the future is:

  • Built for Speed

    Adopt an agile, data-driven, digital culture that encourages rapid learning and execution that drives growth faster than your competition.

  • Intentionally Diverse

    Ignite an inclusive culture that embraces diverse mindsets, skillsets and a flexible, digital workplace.

  • Working with Purpose

    Deliver a strong employee value proposition with careers people crave and a focus on employees’ well-being and purpose.

  • Designed Flexibly

    Actively use predictive analytics to develop a platform for talent and a workforce that is fluid in size, shape and skills.
