Dean talked to us about times of change and uncertainty, and how technology has transformed the workplace – it has eliminated some jobs while creating new, tech-based jobs, that the labor market is largely unprepared to fill.

Dean tells us that because of this, there isn’t a jobs problem in today’s marketplace, but rather a skills problem. To overcome this, employers must be intentional and proactive about upskilling their workforce.

Another change rapidly impacting the workforce is demographic changes. Younger employees are entering the workforce quickly, with millennials now making up a majority of the workforce.

Lately, members of Generation Z have been bringing their skills and challenges to the workplace as well. Using training to address issues that arise due to multigenerational workforces will continue to have a tremendous impact on your organization’s employee retention.
