Editor’s Note

As Covid-19’s impact on jobs and careers becomes more apparent, many are beginning to focus on what’s next.

With the acceleration of digitalisation in the Covid-19 era, many job functions that currently exist may be automated in the near future. While some jobs will disappear, others will be created or at least become more commonplace. There is also a fear in some quarters that if technology and AI can take over most functions in the future, will “human skills” even be relevant.
 

Jaime Lim delves more into the topic in her article, In the Covid and Post-Covid Era, Skills Can Only Get You So Far, featured on the cover this month.

Take care of your employees, and they’ll take care of your business.

Providing training sessions to your staff will not only boost their skills, but also help with productivity and encourage inclusivity. If you want your business to thrive, you need to put your staff first.

What is essential is that your trainees will take away with them all of the vital course information. By planning well, you can help them learn as smoothly as possible while having an uplifting experience. Learn more in Simon Lewington's How To Improve Your Training Planning Technique.
