For the past five years, the world has been trying to handle the systemic shifts in our workforce, educational system, and in society from the pandemic. In addition, new technologies like Artificial Intelligence, a growing skills mismatch, the “Silver Tsunami” of retirements, and disruptions to the global order will be causing further disruption. Rather than sit back and hope, or try to pivot just one more time, we need to instead be preparing ourselves and our organizations for the storms of the future. With all of the change and uncertainty in workforce today, the need for an adaptable and resilient leadership mindset has never been greater – regardless of your title! Learn strategies that can help develop yourself and others in their ability to see, communicate, and adapt to change. Develop skills of resilience so you can be prepared no matter what the world throws at you next!

Artificial Intelligence and automation are changing the workplace as we know it. Millions of jobs have been radically transformed and the recipe for success has been scrambled. While technical skills are still important, the biggest concern for employers are the diminishing soft skills of the workforce. Nearly 9 out of 10 hiring managers in the U.S. report that the lack of these soft skills are THE most important factor in their hiring, and the lack of these skills leads to 89 percent of all terminations. The changing nature of the workplace as a result of the pandemic has made it even more important to demonstrate these crucial work ethic behaviors on a consistent basis. Yet most, if not all, of an employee’s on-the-job training is currently focused on their technical skills. But there is a viable solution to the growing work ethic gap that can improve the employment outcomes for our incumbent workers AND our new hires.
