But like any other investment(s), they are highly speculative so once you have learned a subject or developed a skill, it is a sunk cost.

Know that your education, knowledge, skills and experience all are investments in your ability to contribute value for which you can be paid for.

Have you ever wondered why your organization decides to hire a manager or supervisor from outside instead of promoting you to the position?
#HRwithEM#WorkforceOfTheFuture#CIPMANC19
If you have the knowledge and skills that the organization is looking for, then you remain relevant in the scheme of things. If you do not, the organization will look outside for it.
#HRwithEM#WorkforceOfTheFuture#CIPMANC19
It is only those who improve themselves regularly by acquiring skills and knowledge that the organization requires that would be counted upon to help move the organization forward.
#HRwithEM#WorkforceOfTheFuture#CIPMANC19
As a result of these changes, organizations are now looking for people with the skills, knowledge, abilities and experiences to help them survive and continue to remain in business.

It is common practice that organisations cut off the weakest link, particularly when times become hard as this calls for the need to optimise and maximize, there leading to some form of downsizing.
#HRwithEM#WorkforceOfTheFuture#CIPMANC19
How then do you remain ever relevant in your place of work, and not be part of this weakest link that could be cut off?
#HRwithEM#WorkforceOfTheFuture#CIPMANC19
Therefore, to “be relevant” or “remain relevant”, a person or thing must be seen to make a difference in a decision-making process or the day to day business activities of an organization.
#HRwithEM#WorkforceOfTheFuture#CIPMANC19
Bringing it home, an employee is only relevant when he/she contributes his/her skills and knowledge to improve the state of the organization they work for, especially in reaching a desired goal.

Just as the topic of this discussion suggests, the workplace is continually evolving. In the past we had so many manual processes in place at work, which have now been automated. #AI is currently being integrated with work.
#HRwithEM#WorkforceOfTheFuture#CIPMANC19
Today, you hear a lot about things and businesses being done online, which we never thought would be possible. Organizations are diversifying, merging, and reinventing themselves.
