September 17th NACM Court Leader’s Advantage Podcast Episode
The world-renowned technology advisory firm The Gartner Group has come out with its Nine Future Work Trends for 2024. These are trends that Gartner has said will reshape the future of work. They are driven by the need to attract and retain top talent, reduce operational costs, and enhance productivity. The trends are:
- Skills Will Become More Important than Degrees and Certificates in Recruitment and Selection
- Career Stereotypes Will Collapse in the Face of a Changing Workforce
- Employee Conflict Resolution will be the Next “Must Have” Management Skill
- The “Cost of Work” Crisis Will Reach a Breaking Point as employees calculate the cost of traveling every day to and from a brick & mortar courthouse
- The Four-Day Workweek Becomes Routine Bottom of Form
- We will stop talking about DEI. It just becomes the Way We Work
- Generative Artificial Intelligence Experiments Will Likely Yield Hard Lessons & Painful Costs. These experiments will emphasize the need for good training on how to use Generative AI.
- Artificial Intelligence Will Create Work Opportunities. Entirely new classes of specialists will be needed to effectively use AI
- Climate Change Protection Will Become the New “Must-Have” Employee Benefit.
In this episode we are going to take a look at the job skills of the future and how we are going to find candidates that possess them. We will look at the shifting focus from degrees and certificates to skills and competencies. This approach will allow for a more inclusive and diverse workforce by valuing practical skills and experience over formal education and training. We will look at one specific future skill that will be in high demand, that being workplace mediation. As workplaces become more diverse and remote work continues to grow, misunderstandings and conflicts will also likely grow. Effective mediation will be essential to keep an organization working smoothly.
