Businesses are grappling with many challenges today. These include the transition to a work-from-anywhere world and the reimagining of core strategies that can meet changing stakeholder expectations. Businesses have to figure these out, all whilst driving growth and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Salesforce, one of the challenges we are particularly passionate about tackling is digital skills<\/a> and workforce development. With companies around the world rapidly transitioning to digital-first models, the demand for employees with digital skills<\/a> has soared. However, current efforts to upskill and reskill talent is not keeping pace with this demand, and there is still more to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our newly launched Salesforce\u2019s Global Digital Skills Index<\/a> reveals a growing global digital skills crisis: 76% of the world\u2019s workforce feel unequipped for the future of work. This sentiment resonates with 71% of respondents based in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, only 29% of Singapore\u2019s workforce say they are actively pursuing training on digital skills now. While 79% of respondents in Singapore have \u2018advanced\u2019 or \u2018intermediate\u2019 social media skills, just 34% feel prepared for the workplace digital skills needed over the next five years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that the appetite to learn is there. Nearly half of Singapore\u2019s respondents say that they plan to learn new skills to help them grow in their current careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, according to Salesforce\u2019s Digital Skills Index<\/a>, it is clear that all nations, including Singapore, need to sustain and step up investment in digital skills urgently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, more than ever, businesses need to take the lead in collaborating with governments, partners, and communities to tackle the growing digital skills crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
