The Talent War Is Over

It’s no secret that the “Age of Automation” is not just on its way; it’s here. A company’s people have a direct impact on how well it can respond to the changing economic times.

1.4 million people will lose their jobs by 2026 as a result of technological change, with more than 70% of those job losses happening because the job type will cease to exist according to The World Economic Forum 

There is a clear connection between continuing education and its impact on the economy. Potential talent is here in abundant supply, but somebody has to nurture it. Companies need to turn to their partners that are building workforce capabilities through training, up-skilling and re-skilling existing and new talent.

The future of workplace is Edge Learning. When companies learn to mobilize the investment and the resources of their partner relationships rather than a ‘build it ourselves’ approach or model. They will sustain professional development. Not only will they gain THE competitive advantage – they will realize their Edge Learning IS the competitive advantage.

Edge Learning makes it easier for professionals to pursue their lifelong learning journeys and provides corporations the opportunity necessary to win the talent war.

Don’t believe me, here are some shocking statistics that you can’t ignore:

According to Forbes magazine, 55% of salespeople lack basic sales skills.

According to the 2019 Workplace Learning Report 94% of employees would stay at a company longer if it simply invested in helping them learn.

58 percent of buyers report that sales reps are unable to answer their questions effectively.
