Overview
In 2019, the International Labour Organisation or ILO published a report, titled “Work For A Brighter Future”. The report contains in-depth examination of the future of work done by their Global Commission on the Future of Work, which was launched in 2017 by ILO to study the impact on how Technological Development, Climate Change, Demographic Shifts and Globalisation would transform the world of work.
In the same year, the Society of HR Management or SHRM, did a study on the Future of Work to identify the leading elements impacting workforce and its immediate ramifications for organisations. Among the findings of the study reveal two key factors related to the role of HR professionals. One, there are significant skill gaps among the professionals to support the transformation of the workplace, and two, many of these gaps have been existing for quite some time and the fast-changing workplace has given a renewed urgency for HR professionals to fill these gaps.
