-- Research shows key skills for success have changed completely in a reshaped 
world of work

PSI released a study ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3169701-1&h=2611733639&u=https%3A%2F%2Fhubs.li%2FH0NGWCS0&a=a+study 
) today identifying the most important skills needed to succeed in the future 
of work. According to PSI, competencies that were most valued over the past 
decade are likely to be overtaken by a new set of skills, thanks to workplace 
changes due to the pandemic, digital transformation, and more. Using data from 
10,000+ 360-degree feedback assessments from its global clients across a range 
of roles, company sizes, and industries, PSI identified the top seven 
competencies from the last decade. 

To predict the new key competencies critical for the reshaped world of work, 
PSI analyzed emerging themes seen in practice over the last year paired with 
additional research into the future of work, such as the World Economic Forum's 
Future of Work skills report. 

These new competencies signify flexibility in how we think, harness 
digitalization, connect with others, and manage our own well-being. Emphasis on 
soft skills coupled with an ability to adapt to change and embrace diversity 
are extremely important in the modern workplace, and PSI expects they will have 
a huge impact on success in the future of work. Together, they provide a robust 
foundation for people to adapt to change, ambiguity, and complexity, enabling 
them to go from surviving to thriving at work. The seven key competencies are:

    -- Critical Thinking 
    -- Learning Agility 
    -- Digital Dexterity 
    -- Building Relationships 
    -- Embracing Diversity 
    -- Resilience 
    -- Change Orientation

Competencies stand the test of time in terms of measuring performance at work 
because they assess and pinpoint actual behaviors that can be measured and 
developed. With decades of research on work behavior and performance, PSI's 
psychologists and behavioral scientists understand the constellation of work 
competencies that can enable job success. 

"Today's world of work is continuously changing, and this presents a 
significant challenge for organizations when hiring and managing their most 
important resource: their people," said Dan Hughes, Director of International 
Research and Development at PSI. 

"Competencies continue to provide a simple, clear, and observable way to 
determine what 'good' looks like in a job and measure performance. Our aim is 
to help organizations understand which competencies are important to focus on 
in the post-pandemic workplace so they can look for these skills in tomorrow's 
workforce."

The release of the report signifies the launch of new resources and targeted 
solutions from PSI, focused on helping organizations and people successfully 
adapt to the reshaped world of work. More information is available here (
