For as long as we’ve all been at work, CEOs and boards have referred to people as their “most important asset.” But rarely have they acted in concert with this claim. Now, and for the foreseeable future, this must change.

• The pace of change
• Unprecedented demographic shifts
• The need to compete through productivity
• Changing relationship to work

Update for 2021 with new data, this white paper traces these seismic forces to their epicenter and what you find is an urgent need for large organizations to reskill the workforce—and to do so with a tangibly human approach. One that meets people where they are and then inspires and empowers them to achieve their own goals alongside those of the organization.
