Our survey uncovered 3 key findings:

Resilience is at risk due to skill gaps

Future work and workforce demands are hard to predict and prepare for. Skill gaps and the cost of acquiring critical skills are key concerns for senior leaders.

67% of senior leaders report that they cannot turn the dial on skills supply to match changing resilience requirements.

Re-skilling efforts are falling short

With the waves of automation and digitalisation demanding new emergent skills, senior leaders are not confident in their re-skilling programs ability to deliver.

80% of senior leaders report that they have not synchronised the rate of re-skilling with the pace of technological change.

ROI of people analytics unrealised

Despite the huge investments that have been made into people analytics functions, the ability to match skill supply with demand has not been mastered.

3% of senior leaders report that the people analytics function is having a significant impact on ensuring sufficient skills supply

Conclusion

Businesses must now reskill and remodel their workforce to be successful in the post-pandemic era
