Nowadays, with so much evolution and constant change towards a more digitalized era, taking into account the emergence of AI and the standardized implementation of teleworking, we are entering a market where certain types of job skills are prioritized, as we will see below.
It is essential to keep in mind that labor competencies, both Soft skills and Hard skills (soft and hard skills) cannot be left aside in the integration of our team.
On the one hand, in the Soft skills that are presented as the most demanded for this 2024 we find:
Resilience and flexibility:
These are core competencies in the present and future work world due to constant evolution, technological changes and the need to balance work and personal life. This allows us to remain competitive in a healthy work environment.
Curiosity and lifelong learning
In a present where technology advances by leaps and bounds, the ability to adapt has become an invaluable asset. Curiosity allows individuals to keep abreast of the latest trends and skills.
Technological literacy
It allows professionals to understand, use and adapt to the tools and technologies that are fundamental to job roles. It is no longer just an additional skill, but a fundamental competency to possess.
Teamwork:
Facilitates combining skills and diverse perspectives, to promote a more participatory resolution of problems and objectives, thus achieving more ambitious goals.
On the other hand, and regarding Hard skills, we can differentiate between:
Artificial Intelligence.
The opportunities offered by AI in the work environment instill significant potential in companies. In a context where AI is becoming more and more integrated among us, its management becomes an advantage for those who possess it.
Cybersecurity
The growing dependence on technology and digitization in business processes also increases vulnerability to cyber threats. Knowing this, therefore, allows us to protect confidential information, safeguard the integrity of systems and prevent possible attacks.
Business Skills
These skills in financial data analysis, market, and strategic decision making are in high demand for any business today.
