As part of the report, LinkedIn also conducted a deep dive into employees\u2019 readiness to tackle the future workforce and how L&D professionals are responding to the skills transformation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anticipating rising skills to ensure businesses stay competitive <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As traditional industries adopt\nnew technology and ride the wave of digital transformation to improve\noperations and introduce new products and services, it is unsurprising that the\ntop rising skills in APAC are dominated by technology-related skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These rising skills can be used\nas a signpost for organisations to determine how the industry is innovating and\ntransforming, and help their employees cope with the pace of change through upskilling.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also studied the top three rising skill categories in each country that are more prevalent compared to the APAC average. These are the skills that have a higher prominence in the Philippines compared to the region:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feon Ang<\/a>, VP for talent and learning solutions, Asia Pacific, LinkedIn, said: \u201cAs digitalization continues to transform the workforce at a rapid speed, certain skills are becoming less in-demand simply because different skill sets are required to navigate such transformation. It is therefore important for organizations to have a deep understanding of their current talent pool, and how to evolve it for their long-term business goals. Helping current talent to upskill or reskill early can help organizations ensure that their future talent needs are met.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ang added that \u201cwhile we encourage organizations to tap on real-time data and insights to help inform them about trends in the talent marketplace, we also believe that embracing a culture of learning is just as important for organizations to remain resilient amidst a rapidly changing workforce,\u201d said Ang. \u201cAt the same time, employees need to be empowered and motivated to learn on their own terms, given difficulties in finding time and accessing opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
