Are you prepared to meet the challenges in the global labor market that lay ahead? Is your company?

The report found that “technological disruption is interacting with socio-economic, geopolitical and demographic factors to create a perfect storm in labor markets in the next five years”.

How to avoid unintentional bias in your hiring strategy and so encourage diversity

A recent report, which is the culmination of a leadership event featuring Ernst & Young, the Royal Bank of Canada, and guided by Dr. Mahzarin Banaji, Harvard University professor of leadership diversity, highlights diversity and its support within organizations. The piece seeks to comment on the failure of organizations to effectively implement policies directed at diversifying staff, and promoting inclusion generally. According to Dr Banaji, diversity is so essential because it allows for the creation of a strong team which can perform better under pressure and in different circumstances. She also states that diversity makes way for dynamic problem-solving, and better decision-making, leading to a better success rate overall.

Nobel Prize in economics 2012 awarded for insights into the topic of matching

Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth received the Nobel Prize in economics 2012 (link in german) for their “theory of stable allocations and the practice of market design” (link in german). The approach used by the two Americans is primarily based on of the appropriate matching of agents in areas which exceed the limitations of traditional market mechanisms (link in german), e.g. when students are trying to find their ideal university, and vice versa. A key statement from the Nobel Prize-winning work is that the matching, i.e. the overlap in interests and requirements, must always be as large as possible. The relevance of these insights to the modern labour market is confirmed by a recently published report from the European Central Bank (ECB).

A look into the crystal ball: future work skills

The Institute for the Future (IFTF) has recently published a study about the most important work skills for the future. Yet, those who expect to find a guideline will be disappointed. Due to the rapidly changing demands of the labor market, the study has found that foresight and adaptability will be the key to success. The top ten skills for 2020 listed by the IFTF therefore contain abilities like “sense-making”, “transdisciplinarity” or “novel and adaptive thinking” (see graphic below). What sound like the predictions of a horoscope, which will prove true no matter what, is actually symptomatic of the driving forces behind the increasingly automatized and interconnected work force.

Nobel Prize in economics for work on problems of matching

Americans Peter A. Diamond and Dale T. Mortensen and dual British/Cypriot citizen Christopher A. Pissarides have won the 2010 Nobel Prize in economics. Their work and their DMP model (the initials are those of the researchers) are furthering understanding of how mismatch problems affect the functioning of markets – not least the labour market.
