What are the skills necessary for the future of employment?

Its good for an employee to feel good about himself and to be confident dynamics of that group. He should deal with people, problems and ensure that a team’s purpose and situations with honesty, integrity and objectives are clear personal ethics. He should be flexible and respect, should be open to all and recognise his own and other people’s supportive of the thoughts, opinions good efforts and contributions of others in a group and should show interest, initiative and effort.

If you love your work, you can never be bad at it. Though it sounds simple, I am always amazed at how many people I meet who think they are stuck in the wrong job. So keep looking. Be foolish enough to love your job. It pays and pays well.

Wear multiple hats. Resource must be a good team player, should be able to lead from front, technically he should have "high in demand" skills on his resume, for instance it is easy to find .Net developer with 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 yrs exp, but it is difficult to find some one Infragistics exp or somebody who has used Db2 database or someone who has used TIBCO.

I think with technology and the Global workplace changing so fast,the future belongs to those who are ever ready to Learn and pick up new skills,ie,a sort of Jack of all trades who is also a Master in a few.He should also posess good network-building and Leadership skills.

I think honesty is very important for an employee in an organization.He/She can compete with everyone by this honesty.

i believe the most importanat skills that an employee mst posses is flexibility. in this changing scenairo where every now n then  we have changes being made around us.so the employer needs to b flexible and adapative to innovations..

to me it appears with globalisation and competitive pressures employers are now able to focus more on result orientedness and business sense with ability to deliver fast track results while being innovative and street smart in this competitive world.

seems the age of longterm employment, family values, loyalty, etc have much lesser space although one expects to be an effective team member and ability to learn and be adaptable - leading to attempt achieve the buck fast on both the part of the employer and the employee leading to faster employee turnover while learning to live with and manage the same with focus on fast mutual growth and rewards and results. thus the business environment has become quite complex.

hope this enables reflect further,

I think employees should be smart worker not hard worker,

Begin a student of management i have learned tat its multitasking which many internatio n firms are looking for in their employees. reason tat it saves around 2 / 3 percent of income if they can fetch 10 multitasker ! . ths is not only the reson bt rember tat every multitasker is unique eith its quality. if firm can handel ths  aspect then it is only multitasker ! 

As per day to day stressful life in the organisation.Whatever may be in future or todays employment he should be dedicated to his job.What ever the task is given,he should be a quick learner.

Be smart and go ahead

Be a leader and make leader

Employees should set their goals and priorities balancing work and personal life. They should plan and manage time, money and other resources to achieve goals. He should assess, weigh and manage risk and should be accountable for his actions and the actions of his group. He should be socially responsible and contribute to your community.

1) RESULT-ORIENTED PERFORMANCE

2) SETTING STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE

3) WILLINGNESS TO LEARN

4) INNOVATE

5) TECH-SAVVY

6) DEVELOP ONESELF AND OTHERS

It's more important that the skills one has matches the role and responsibility that he/she plays. It's a misconception that skills required is widening or one has to gather more diverge skills to be more successful.

As one grows in their career over the years, roles and responsibilities change. Along with that one has to augment his skills to suit his role and reponsibility. In this context, it becomes an important part for HR to ensure that the right people are promoted, and promoted only after ensuring that they have developed the skills required to perform effectively in the next role.

A mismatch between skills and the role one plays creats friction and degrades performance of not just the individual, but of the entire team.

For example, skills required to be in individual contributor would be depth of knowledge in subject, good problem solving or debugging skills, etc. For a lead, one has to have good people management skills, effective tracking of tasks, critical problem handling skills, etc.

It is believed "survival for the fittest so he who has all rounder capability will only be offered Or has the specific command over a certain work that others cant do.
