83% of respondents believe being adaptable/flexible will be important to their career in the next five years.

Employers anticipate that 44% of workers' skills will be disrupted in the next five years

Companies estimate that six in 10 workers will require training before 2027, with a particular focus on analytical thinking, creative thinking, AI and big data, leadership and social influence, resilience, flexibility and agility, and curiosity and lifelong learning

Big data, cloud computing, AI, digital platforms, and apps are expected to be adopted by 75% to 86% of companies in the next five years

An estimated 23% of jobs are expected to undergo a structural labor market churn in the next five years due to emerging jobs being added and declining jobs being eliminated.
