Key Findings and Insights
This report will give you an insight into:
- Transformation of the Workforce:
- The report highlights a significant shift where AI and automation are not just replacing jobs but also creating new ones. By 2025, it's predicted that 85 million jobs may be displaced, but 97 million new roles could emerge that are more adapted to the new division of labor between humans, machines, and algorithms.
- Reskilling and Upskilling:
- A major insight is the need for reskilling and upskilling. Approximately 40% of the workforce will require reskilling over the next three years. This reflects the changing nature of jobs and the new skills required to work alongside AI and automated systems.
- Decline in Importance of STEM Skills:
- Interestingly, the report notes a decline in the singular importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills. Instead, there is an increasing demand for soft skills like adaptability, problem-solving, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills.
- Shift in Management and Operational Strategies:
- Successful organizations are adapting their operational models to accommodate these changes. This involves a strategic reorganization of work, focusing on enhancing productivity and fostering innovation through human-AI collaboration.
- The Changing Role of HR:
- Human Resources departments are facing new challenges in this AI-driven environment. Their role is evolving to focus more on managing the transformation of the workforce, ensuring continuous learning and development, and maintaining the well-being of employees in an increasingly automated world.
- Emphasis on Human-Machine Collaboration:
- The report underscores the importance of developing effective human-machine partnerships. The future of work is not about humans vs. machines but rather how humans can work alongside AI to achieve higher efficiency and create new opportunities.
