The economic and job market landscapes are undergoing a rapid transformation. What taxis experienced with Uber is becoming a reality for more and more professions. Terms like “digitalization,” “disruption,” and “uberization” paint a clear picture: the labor market is in the midst of a revolution. While artificial intelligence and robotics will inevitably render some jobs obsolete, new opportunities are constantly emerging.
Employability: The Crucial Challenge
At first glance, “employability” might seem like an abstract concept. However, the International Labour Organization defines it as “the ability of each individual to find and keep a job, to progress at work, and to adapt to change throughout their working life.” This ability translates into continuous learning, whether it’s acquiring new skills, mastering the latest technologies, or simply expanding your professional horizons. Continuous learning is an investment in your future, regardless of whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting your career. In today’s dynamic job market, staying competitive demands continuous learning.
Gone are the days of employees staying with the same company for their entire careers. Companies, too, recognize the importance of their employees’ employability, as it ensures they possess the skills necessary to execute their strategies.
Thrive in a Competitive Landscape
The Swiss job market is known for its competitiveness and highly skilled workforce. Individuals who can adapt and develop specialized skills are more likely to find success. By prioritizing their employees’ employability, companies strengthen their “employer brand,” which is a powerful tool for attracting and retaining top talent.
