The ‘Future of Talent’ report

LinkedIn launched its first edition of the Future of Talent report to find out how the future of work changed. The quantitative survey covered over 3,500 respondents from small, medium and large enterprises across the Asia-Pacific region. The report discovered skills would continue to pave the way for economic recovery and growth and become the new currency for workers in the future workplace. More companies in the Philippines would prefer to hire candidates with skills over qualifications such as education or experience.

On top of hiring externally, firms in the Philippines were amenable to tap existing talent to occupy open roles. In order that their employees gain new skills, many companies conduct a dedicated training program. Another finding is human management resources (HR) played a significant part during the pandemic and taking the lead in training employees. With a post-Covid-19 era, HR will be at the forefront of company strategy.
