1) what will be the most relevant skills for this future of work,
2) the most important positions,
3) the roles identified as less relevant and what this implies for talent.
According to the voice of the organizations (through the results of the Survey of Skills for the Future and the Survey of Jobs of the Future) the propensity indicates that the skills that are related to technological fluency and innovation will be the most important to businesses over the next three years, followed by “desirable personality traits.”
In this sense, corporations ensure that the growth and adaptability mentality, personal development, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility are the most important skills that talent must have.
In opposition, those classified as less relevant are: internal political influence, sales skills and transdisciplinary thinking. In this line, decision makers should consider that skills related to people development are destined to have a particular focus in each organization.
On the other hand, talking about the future for many implies the power of involving technology, so in the following years, the skills that are identified as susceptible to automation are those related to administration, human resources and data entry.
Regarding the most important positions or roles for the next three years, the firms position those related to business intelligence, data analysis, data science, as well as data mining. On the other hand, corporate and administrative roles are being considered less critical in the short and medium term.
