Want to make an impact in today’s very competitive jobs market? Then you need to develop flexible skills and a flexible mindset, according to the findings of a poll of HR professionals.
The findings of the online poll by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) are supported by those in a survey of over 3,000 employees.
Both groups identified transferable/flexible skills as the key attribute applicants should be demonstrating in the current climate; in the HR poll, almost half agreed (45 per cent), while in the employee group, 47 per cent identified such skills as the most marketable.
Time was when the British workforce was very inflexible but things have moved on a lot over the last 20-30 years. But we know there are still pockets of resistance to change, with some workers in both the public and private sectors still clinging to the idea that they can just carry on as before. Their time will come…!
