Is your team feeling the strain of constant change? You’re not alone. About two-thirds of workers feel overwhelmed by how quickly work is changing, and many feel their value is misunderstood. A stunning 66% say they’d be more likely to stay at an organization that values their skills and potential over job titles and degrees.
The old anchors of stability—rigid job descriptions and linear career paths—are no longer effective. To build a resilient and agile workforce, we must shift our focus from jobs to people. This means understanding our workers as individuals with unique skills, motivations, and passions.
Companies are already making this shift. Standard Chartered Bank uses “skills passports” to match employees to projects beyond their job descriptions, unlocking new opportunities. India-based Zoho encourages flexible pathways, allowing people to evolve into roles they never would have considered.
By focusing on skills, we can provide the stability our people crave while building the dynamic capability our organizations need. It’s time to anchor our talent strategy in human potential.
