To survive a digital future, guide employees to own their learning

In elementary school, students are told what they need to learn. In high school, they receive some choices with electives. In college, students take full ownership of their learning and choose the path to their career. In today's continuously changing work landscape, employees need to retake ownership of learning to advance (or even retain) their careers — and employers have to enable them. The market will leave behind those who think continuous learning is an option rather than a necessity. For businesses that don't stress the need for upskilling, and employees who don't heed that warning, current projections show that almost every type of job could be replaced by the digital revolution. Getting employees to take ownership of their own learning and growth is critical to future-proof them and their employers.
