Careers today

The large volume of political, social, technological, economic as well as environmental changes is increasing the sense of turbulence and unpredictability. Nowadays, change can be fast-paced, constant and unpredictable. The pandemic accelerated existing trends such as the shift to digital, remote work, e-commerce, and automation, with up to 25 percent more workers than previously estimated potentially needing to switch occupations.

The acceleration of these trends can be unsettling, but also bring new opportunities. Just like we need regular exercise to stay fit and healthy, preparing for and adapting to change keeps us on our toes. It helps us grow.
