How can we help organisations get the most of these?
Skills & Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) organised an employers' conference to support business and HR leaders to navigate through 3 important topics of today - People, Skills and AI.
Gerald Tan Zi Ping of AVODAH helped facilitate a panel discussion among thought leaders representing top leadership, government, AI and recruitment perspectives - Foo Piao Zhou, Tonny Loh, Nilay Khandelwal, Sengmeng . ้ฑ่้ญ in discussing how hiring, retention and workforce adapting should be changing in this time.
4 key points from the panel include:
1. Hiring should go beyond qualifications; they should cover competencies needed for today and potential needed for tomorrow.
2. Learning agility, domain expertise, decision making are key attributes for every employee to stay ahead.
3. Culture, career development, personal work values, job design are critical levers to improve employee engagement
4. AI implementation should be designed around conversations and problem statements, not around training.
Perhaps the real question is no longer โHow will AI change our workforce?โ but โHow do we redesign our work so that people, skills and AI can create better outcomes together?โ That is the conversation we hope more organisations will have from now on.
