Artificial Intelligence and Big Data start to exercise stronger influence in many different aspects of our daily lives and businesses. Robots will likely replace humans for many of their repetitive tasks. These are key trends that are having an impact on both the needs of clients and consumers as well how businesses respond to these rapidly evolving needs. Consequently, these changing forces will also impact the future of the workforce. In an ever-specialized world, the complexity of tasks left for humans will likely increase, but in turn, it will also provide huge opportunities for employees to embrace the challenges and show their full capabilities. To address this extra complexity, the skill set for talents will likely require much more diversity and adaptability, well beyond the traditional focus on creativity and innovation. An attractive work … [Read more...] about DKSH pledges to invest in Vietnam’s human resources
