New research by Athabasca University (AU) has found that more than three-quarters of Canadian employees (77%) want to re-skill just to keep up with their job's changing needs, with digital skills being a top priority among 70% of respondents.
At the same time, however, another priority is competing for attention. Three-quarters of employees (74%) also want to improve their interpersonal, or soft skills, such as communication style, conflict resolution capabilities, relatability, and team-building.
