Session: Leveraging Power Skills in The New Hybrid World
The shift to hybrid work meant that the workforce is now more geographically distributed and organizations need to adapt to support the emerging challenges in employee retention and development; and upskilling and reskilling have taken a sense of urgency. Power skills go far beyond the impact of the individual – they are central to defining the organizational culture. This talk is about how technology helps organizations to identify power skills and how an individual’s power skills contribute not just to the success of the individual, but to the success of the organization.
