The world of work is changing faster than ever, and organisations that want to stay competitive must rethink how they build skills, capability, and resilience in the age of artificial intelligence.
An upcoming online event hosted by CIPD UK, taking place on Friday, 8 May from 12:00–1:00 PM will explore how digital skills and transferable human skills are becoming essential as AI continues to reshape roles, tasks, and entire industries.
What You Will Learn
Attendees will gain practical insights into how skills are evolving, including:
- How generative AI is changing job roles, tasks, and skills requirements
- The growing digital divide and its impact on inclusion and workforce opportunity
- The economic and business value of closing the essential digital skills gap
- Why human skills such as adaptability, communication, problem-solving, and collaboration are becoming more important than ever
- How strong human skills are linked to a 30% increase in AI adoption and help reduce workplace anxiety during change
- Why organisations need a unified approach to digital and human skills, rather than treating them as separate priorities
- Practical actions to support skills development at individual, team, and organisational level
Who Should Attend
This session is particularly relevant for:
- HR professionals
- People managers
- Learning and development practitioners
- Workforce planners and organisational leaders
- Anyone responsible for future skills strategy
Why It Matters
As AI continues to reshape work, the most successful organisations will be those that balance technical capability with human capability.
Digital skills alone are not enough. Human skills alone are not enough.
The future belongs to organisations that understand how both work together.
