1. Analytical thinking and innovation
In an increasingly complex world, the ability to think analytically is crucial. It’s never too early for your people to learn how to analyze the challenges arising in their roles, the wider business context and how to combat them. Analytical thinking doesn’t come naturally to everyone, but the good news is that you can build it into your learning program to benefit virtually everyone in your workforce.
2. Active learning and learning strategies
It may seem surprising that “learning how to learn” makes the list, but any HR professional knows that simply delivering a learning program is not enough to ensure people really learn. Embracing informal learning via your learning experience platform (LXP) is a great place to start encouraging your employees to ask questions, share knowledge and collaborate on projects.
3. Complex problem solving
It shouldn’t come as a shock that the problems we face in the workplace are becoming increasingly complex. The ability to figure out those tough challenges is only going to become more important in the coming years. Gamification is a great way to help your people develop their problem solving skills and think differently about the challenges they face every day.
4. Critical thinking and analysis
Critical thinking skills are invaluable for people in every role. Critical thinking is about “connecting the dots” and thinking clearly and rationally about the problems you might encounter. A computer can only go so far – very often you need the human touch of critical thought and analysis to really get to the bottom of your challenges.
5. Creativity, originality and initiative
Creativity is very difficult, if not currently impossible, to automate. Computers can “be creative” to some extent, but they can’t understand nuance, or intangible values such as branding, tone or specific approaches. Creativity and originality will always be valuable for workers, so these skills should be honed in order to stay relevant in the years to come.

6. Leadership and social influence
While you can buy followers on social media, this isn’t the same as social influence. Real social influence comes from building up a reputation and relationships over time. It’s not easy, but once you’ve earned that influence, it becomes an invaluable tool in your kit. The same applies to leadership – being respected as a leader is earned with time and effort, as well as a healthy dose of charisma and people skills.
7. Technology use, monitoring and control
Unsurprisingly, technology skills will be vital for workers going forward. Getting to grips with technology quickly, understanding how it’s used and being able to impart this wisdom to others will soon be vital in every sector, if it isn’t already, as will the ability to monitor the use of technology in your organization.
8. Technology design and programming
The amount of technology available to you is increasing exponentially, and it’s crucial that your people know how to make it work for you. Technology design and programming skills will ensure that you can tailor your technology solutions to your needs, or even create your own solutions.
9. Resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility
The events of 2020 exposed the need for resilience and flexibility in the workplace. Staying calm under pressure, rolling with the punches, and not letting stress overwhelm you has never been more vital. Employee well being programs should be built into your employee engagement strategy to help your people build the resilience they need to thrive in the coming years.
10. Reasoning, problem solving and ideation
When the work environment is changing rapidly, your people need the skills to generate ideas and assess how to move forward in difficult circumstances. One way to improve ideation skills is with live brainstorming workshops or dedicated online workspaces for coming up with ideas to improve processes and approaches. Other employees can then build on their colleagues’ ideas and point out what works, what doesn’t and how to refine ideas to make them viable.
