WTW published its latest EX Intelligent report arguing that uncertainty about future skills is emerging as the next major workforce risk for employers. Key findings include a drop in employees saying their manager helps develop their abilities, from 84% to 78% over four years, and only about 30% of organizations having processes to identify and track workforce skills. On AI, 45% of employees say it is already important to their daily job and another 22% expect it to fundamentally change their work.
