The Future of Work Is Here—Are Comms Leaders Ready?
AI and automation are reshaping work, with 39% of skills becoming outdated by 2030. Communicators must adapt—sharpening critical thinking, mastering AI tools, and embracing continuous learning. Are you ready?
The World Economic Forum just dropped a bombshell. Are comms leaders ready for the future of work?
WEF just shared its Future of Jobs Report 2025.
And it's clear: work is changing fast.
AI, automation and new skills will shape the jobs of tomorrow.
Some key stats from the report:
- 86% of companies say AI will transform their business by 2030
- 85% will invest in reskilling, as 59% of workers will need training
- 39% of today’s skills will be outdated by 2030
If you work in comms, here's how to get ready:
- develop your soft skills (like critical thinking)
- learn how to use AI tools effectively
- ask your employer for training
WEF paints the picture of a job market that is about to be transformed by AI.
Some roles will disappear while new opportunities will emerge in data analytics, cybersecurity and digital marketing.
AI is not replacing communicators like you and me.
It's reshaping the way we work.
The ones who adapt, develop core skills and use the new AI tools will be ready for what's to come.
What are your thoughts?
How are you preparing for the future of work?
