: Companies are placing greater emphasis on skills over academic qualifications in their search for digital talent post-pandemic.
“In the post-Covid 19 environment, more companies are re-skilling employees to capitalise on latest technologies for greater competitiveness.” “Software developers do not need to be in the office to write code, data scientists do not have to be there to structure algorithms and analyse datasets, and IT administrators can ensure that a company’s servers are secure from another location,“ added Vic.
When it comes to working virtually, digital workers’ first preference would be to work for a company based in the US, followed by the UK and Australia. “From there, they can decide what to build, buy, or borrow to enhance their digital workforce. Companies must stay on top of these topics and develop a clearly articulated position on them that’s connected to their employee value proposition.”
