text in order.
Welcome to the 21st century world of work. It's a very different world
than our grandparents experienced; very few people learn one job and
perform it until they retire. The 21st century workplace, given its
uncertain and thus flexible nature, requires a special set of skills.
Successful workers in the 21st century need to understand how they,
themselves, learn. Some companies offer training in learning styles, and
many learning style assessments exist online. In addition to understanding
themselves as learners, workers also need to learn how to assess gaps in
their knowledge.
Multiple researchers, such as those from enGuage in their report Literacy
in the Digital Age (2003), note that workers need to learn how to quickly
adapt to changing technology, changing structures in their workplaces,
and changing work environments.
The ability to deal with change, the need to learn how to learn, and the
ability to communicate in multiple modes, varied situations, and with
various groups of people are special skills needed by the 21st century
worker. Think of your own workplace ten or even five years ago. How
much has it changed and how much has your own job changed? Are you
ready to meet the challenge of the next ten years?
Wertheim (2008) states that "people in organizations typically spend over
75% of their time in an interpersonal situation; thus it is no surprise to
find that at the root of a large number of organizational problems is poor
communications. Effective communication is an essential component of
organizational success whether it is at the interpersonal, intergroup,
intragroup, organizational, or external levels" (p. 21).
