Is the skills gap preventing you from executing your enterprise strategy?

2020-10-19 03:00

As many business leaders look to close the skills gap and cultivate a sustainable workforce amid COVID-19, an IBM Institute for Business Value study reveals less than 4 in 10 human resources executives surveyed report they have the skills needed to achieve their enterprise strategy.

COVID-19 exacerbated the skills gap in the enterprise.

74% of executives surveyed believe their employers have been helping them learn the skills needed to work in a new way, compared to just 38% of employees surveyed, and 80% of executives surveyed said their company is supporting employees' physical and emotional health, but only 46% of employees surveyed agreed.

65% of surveyed high performing companies are looking to AI to identify behavioral skills like growth mindset and creativity for building diverse adaptable teams, compared to 16% of peers.

According to the report, surveyed HR executives from high-performing companies were eight times as likely as their surveyed peers to be driving disruption in their organizations.
