Why Power Skills (Not Soft Skills) are the Currency of the Future of Work

About the Panel Discussion

One of the hottest topics in business today is upskilling, reskilling, and redefining jobs for the future of work. It’s so rampant that it remains the CEO's second highest priority with 59% of CEOs recognizing it as a “top threat to growth”, just behind the inflation influence disrupting business strategy.

The skills of the future are not technical, they’re behavioral. These skills are not “soft” – they’re highly complex, take years to learn, and are always evolving in their scope. Whether that be “growth mindset, willingness to be flexible, adaptable to change and communicate effectively”, the bottom line is we need to take these “power skills” seriously and build experiential programs that start at the top

Building “human skills” is now a critical priority for every CHRO. From innovation to agility are entirely dependent on values like generosity and trust. These “soft skills” are the foundation of human happiness which is at the center of employee engagement, productivity, and corporate growth.
