The green transition is a people transition. Without green skills, there is no green economy

Digitisation and automation are impacting the skills required for every job, across every industry. Transparent and data-driven approaches to skills-based workforce planning are critical for organisations that aim to keep up with the fluctuating demands of Industry 4.0.  

Talent scarcity is not just about a lack of people, but a lack of people with the right skills. Despite talks of recession, job markets are still strong. A "jobfull" recession in markets around the world will not slow down the growing skills gap. 

The worker - the human - needs to be at the centre of all decisions. Organisations need leadership alignment behind a robust corporate purpose which reaches beyond the organisation itself.

Sustainable employment is about creating the environment for workers to thrive, from the moment they are ready to be productive to the moment they retire, and for workers to recognize and act on the responsibility of their own work-life journey. This means shifting the focus to long-term value creation through people and actively enabling life-long employability and resilience.
