Shaping the Future of Work

12. Recruiting Learning
How does Workday think about
Skills-Based Employment?
Skills based talent practices span the full worker lifecycle - from the job seeker
through internal mobility and employee development - focusing on the worker’s
skills and capabilities rather than their formal education, and/or number of years of
previous work experience.
Performance Enablement Career Development

13. Source: “Reach for the STARs: The Potential of America’s Untapped Talent Pool.” Published by Opportunity@Work and Accenture, March 2020
A skills-based approach to employment “creates
a more equitable job market that "screens in" for
skills rather than "screening out" those that lack
traditional credentials like four-year degrees, a
barrier which can disproportionately affect adults
returning to the workforce or changing jobs, people
of color or underrepresented minorities, veterans,
and the economically disadvantaged.”

14. Out of 161 million active adult workers in the
U.S., 60 million have BA degrees, and 14 million
do not have a high school diploma
60% of the U.S. adult workforce does not have a
four-year college degree
74% of new jobs between 2008-2017 were in
occupations where employers typically require a 4-
year college degree

Winning in
the future is
now about
"survival of
the fastest"
Digitally fluent companies who have workforces with strong digital
skills are over 5x more likely than peers to project high revenue
growth for the upcoming three years1
Companies that leave their people better off, which includes
feeling a strong sense of inclusion and belonging, can see modest
revenue growth of 5% (average company revenue in 2020 is
anticipated to decline by -4.7%)3
