Future Workforce Skills for 2020
Gerri Mason Hall
SVP & Chief Human Resources Officer, Sodexo North America
When my mother’s generation went to work in the 1960’s, men made up 78% of the workforce and most were the sole family breadwinners. Only 13% of employees were over 55, and the average workday took place in an office building from 9-5. Fast forward 50 years and global connectivity, smart machines, and new media are just some of the drivers reshaping how we think about work, what constitutes work, and the skills needed to be productive contributors in the future.
The recently released 2015 Workplace Trends Report examines the most valuable future skillsets by analyzing key drivers predicted to reshape the landscape of work and identifying the most essential work skills needed to sustain business over the next 10 years.
