🐨🌟 Workforce trends for the (near) future: Australian edition 🐨🌟 It's always fun to check out thought leadership from across the globe and compare it to our own experience here in the U.S. The top 3 workforce trends to watch in 2025, according to Aussie publication @Smart Company, are: 1) AI integration in recruiting 2) Skills-based hiring (Is this the 3rd time we've written about this in a week?!) 3) Focus on Learning and Development (L&D) Also in their top 7 for 2025 is a "focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" in hiring, a trend that has been controversial in the U.S. over the past year. Some in America have declared DEI dead, and almost all would agree that DEI initiatives have become more complex and nuanced following the peak of the creation of DEI offices and leadership roles in the wake of the 2020 George Floyd crisis. What's your take? Does the Smart Company list jive with your experience elsewhere in the world? What would be on your list of top trends for 2025? https://lnkd.in/gHBe7hTS

📘💡 The Skills-Powered Organization: The Journey to the Next Generation Enterprise 📘💡We continue to be intrigued by this concept of skills, not job titles and roles, shaping the future of work. In their new book "The Skills-Powered Organization," Ravin Jesuthasan, CFA, FRSA and Tanuj Kapilashrami discuss the value of continuous learning over a college degree and how leaders can encourage upskilling and reskilling. They also provide practical strategies for individuals to thrive in a skills-powered world, while helping organizations contend with the following critical questions: -- What data do you need to make skills the currency of work? -- How can organizations reshape talent management for an uncertain future? -- Why are organizations increasingly making work design a core capability? -- How can you structure and orchestrate an enterprise built on skills? Give it a read and let us know what you think! https://lnkd.in/epQvwrft #futureofwork #upskilling #HRtech #reskilling #lifelonglearning #alwaysbelearning #professionaldevelopment #HR

🍎📚 What AI can teach us about meaningful learning 🍎📚 When the first public GenAI tools launched, every teacher on the planet probably lost a night of sleep (or several) worrying that students would never write an original essay again. Since then, many have advocated for the benefits of GenAI in education to enhance learning. A recent article by Nirit Cohen in Forbes makes this case. She writes: "If a task can be fully completed by AI, it likely isn’t challenging enough to foster deep learning. Educators should create assignments that require human input—whether through critical analysis, creativity, or ethical reasoning—so AI serves as a tool for learning, not a replacement for intellectual effort." Just as the internet led to a decreased emphasis on memorizing facts and the calculator shifted the focus from mechanics to theory and application, GenAI has the potential to enable more critical thinking and problem solving -- if teachers can get the upskilling they need to use it effectively. Harvard has some great recommendations for teachers looking to get started using GenAI in the classroom: https://lnkd.in/e7zz7spY What has been your experience with GenAI in schools? Do you think it's a net positive or net negative? Do you think the lessons from schools apply to the workplace, or do businesses face fundamentally different challenges when integrating GenAI? https://lnkd.in/eaJM5zrP #GenAI #futureofwork #futureoflearning #upskilling #continuouseducation #professionaldevelopment #AIinSchools

🔥🔥 Happy to announce another exciting product feature release: recurring subscriptions! 🔥🔥 By popular demand from our users, it’s now easier to request a resource on the OneRange marketplace monthly or annually.

💻💡 Salesforce responds to 7X increase in AI urgency with new upskilling initiative. 💻💡 The company hopes to add 100K new learners to the 2.6M AI and data badges already earned on its Trailhead online learning platform. Why now? -  According to research from Slack (a Salesforce product) , executive urgency to incorporate AI into business operations has increased 7x over just the past 6 months - Still, a majority (2/3) of workers have yet to use AI at work - Only 15% of employees feel they have the education and training necessary to leverage AI effectively After opening its first AI Center in London in June, Salesforce will also launch a pop-up AI Center in San Francisco in 2025, with plans for additional training centers in cities such as Chicago, Tokyo, and Sydney. The move will enable it to create a robust ecosystem of online and in-person AI learning, research, and collaboration opportunities. The race to upskill for AI careers continues at break-neck pace! Have you gotten an AI certification from any one of the big tech companies? How effective have you found the training to be? https://lnkd.in/eYsm6uMN #upskilling #AI #GenAI #Salesforce #Trailhead #futureofwork #continuouseducation #professionaldevelopment #lifelonglearning #alwaysbelearning

🔥🔥 Excited to announce one of our latest product feature releases: skills tagging! 🔥🔥 Powered by AI, our algorithm analyzes resource descriptions and metadata to automatically tag and append skills labels to each of the thousands of resources in our upskilling marketplace so that users can quickly and easily see which skills they'll gain. This release addresses a market need to better connect learning content to in-demand skills ranging from data analysis to strategic planning, decision making, and emotional intelligence. In the short-term, it enables users to identify key skills at-a-glance without having to dig into a long resource description or course syllabus. It’s also easier to search for and recommend upskilling resources to colleagues and direct reports based on their individual skill needs, or based on the skills identified as the highest priority in an organization. In the long term, this feature will enable us to unlock bigger product ideas (potentially in collaboration with some of our partners), such as creating individualized skills journeys, providing company-wide skills reports and dashboards, and more directly tying skills acquisition to job performance and promotion.

🌿🌿 Is upskilling the key to going green and doing good?🌿🌿Companies can approach upskilling from any number of angles (or multiple): As a benefit like a fitness reimbursement, as a tool to increase employee retention, as a means for boosting good will and morale, as a strategy for developing the next generation of managers, or, according to an article in FE news, as a key component of an organization's corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts. Through CSR, companies create programs to give back to local communities through philanthropy, economic development, and environmental sustainability initiatives. The author suggests that upskilling can advance CSR by educating young people about the principles and strategies of environmental, social, economic, and ethical responsibility. By engaging local stakeholders such as educational institutions, government bodies, and non-profits in upskilling efforts, organizations can have even greater impact in their communities. #upskilling #CSR #environmentalsustainability #futureofwork #greeneconomy #HR https://lnkd.in/eaNiavV4
