Adaptability in the Workplace

Jean Claude Kayigi

The future of work will be human. This will demand from us the ability to interact more effectively and intuitively with consumers to differentiate ourselves from machines. This also means organizations and the workforce must move away from fixed, predictable and rigid ways of working and become highly adaptable, flexible, innovative and solution-oriented. As an emotional intelligence skill adaptability have to do with being open to change (positive or negative) and to seamlessly make adjustments as challenges arise. Employees with high adaptability are able to modify their old ways of thinking and course of action to meet unexpected circumstances while driving high performance. They are also able to change their work style on the fly when necessary to take advantage of new technologies or methods, which drive continuous learning and innovation. The purpose of this course is to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and tools to become more adaptable in the workplace and life as adaptability is a transferable skill.
