Talent orientation and growth: guiding the company’s future
The digital revolution is in full swing and is profoundly transforming the world of work. According to a recent report by the McKinsey Global Institute, by 2030 as many as 375 million workers, equal to 14% of the global workforce, may have to change occupation. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Robotics are replacing many repetitive activities, paving the way for a seismic shift across economic sectors.
The challenges of the digital revolution
With automation on the rise, many tasks currently performed by people will be carried out by technology. According to Deloitte, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics will make it possible to automate repetitive tasks, allowing people to focus on higher value-added activities such as decision-making and strategic innovation.
Investing in the skills of the future
Companies must respond to this transformation by investing in their workers’ skills. It is crucial to develop both the technical capabilities needed to adapt to new technologies and the so-called “soft skills,” such as problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability. The combination of these competencies will create an agile workforce, ready to tackle the challenges of a constantly evolving environment.
Supporting STEAM pathways
Supporting STEAM pathways (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) means investing not only in preparing future workers, but also in a more innovative, inclusive, and sustainable corporate ecosystem. STEAM competencies are the engine that aligns corporate economic goals with the well-being of people and the environment in which they operate.
The crucial role of Human Resources
Human Resources play an essential role in this transformation. They must not only identify and recruit talent with advanced skills, but are also responsible for developing continuous training programs to prepare employees for the evolving job market. HR should foster a culture of constant learning, in which every employee has the opportunity to adapt and grow professionally.
Talent orientation and growth: the key to success
In a world of constant change, talent orientation and growth are fundamental to corporate success. Investing in future skills and supporting STEAM pathways allows companies not only to remain competitive, but also to contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable world of work.
We at GATE REI believe in this. Every year we train thousands of young people aged 8 to 17 in STEAM disciplines, and we help companies identify and develop trained talent, preparing them for the challenges of the future.
