The way we work is changing rapidly, and there is a promising trend of breaking down jobs into smaller, more flexible components. This shift in how we define employment means that organizations need to rethink their approaches to hiring, rewarding employees, building teams, and creating a positive work environment. Forward-thinking companies are investing in their workforce structures and the foundational systems that support them, and skills are taking center stage. However, to truly transform, organizations need to build skills literacy across the workforce. When people have skills literacy, they can comprehend, identify, and make the most of a wide range of skills. This fosters intentional skill development and helps employees advance in their careers. Leaders have a vital role to play in this process. By prioritizing skills literacy, organizations can unlock the full potential of their workforce and thrive in a future where skills are paramount.
