As Coronavirus swept the world, it took with it a workforce design stuck in the rigidity of the industrial age. Today, the hallmarks left in its wake are outcomes over hours, cognitive diversity over culture fit and adaptability over knowledgeability. Welcome to today’s new operating environment!

Who’s missing from your leadership table? Do you have your buy/borrow/build talent strategies to keep up with the skills you need moving forward?

Research tells us that 59% of candidates say they want to own their reskilling.

We also know that 56% of employers worry about the skills of their workforce becoming outdated within five years.
