Renewed focus on data literacy

- —Zairus Master, CEO – Shine.com

2020 will witness a renewed focus on data literacy. Organizati­ons will be on the lookout for profession­als who can read and analyze volumes of data to facilitate deeper insights and informed decisions about the organizati­on’s workforce. Reskilling will be a priority for existing employees. Data suggests that there will be 29 million skills in deficit by 2030. The bulk of these missing skills will be soft skills, with two-thirds of the jobs created between now and then expected to be strongly reliant on skills like communicat­ion and empathy. To address this skills shortage, recruiters are shifting their focus to hiring profession­als with the ability to adapt to changing roles inflexible organizati­onal structures. Since huge numbers of Gen-Z profession­als will be entering the workforce over the coming years, the current workforce will have to reskill itself extensivel­y to stay relevant.
