As jobs, industries, and skill requirements change, Australia's future workforce needs more than technical expertise alone. People also need the human capabilities to navigate uncertainty, communicate effectively, work through challenges and adapt to new demands.
But these capabilities don't develop in isolation, and even skilled, committed people can struggle to use them when workplace conditions get in the way.
In this interactive virtual session, Chantelle Kohn, Founder of The Change Collab, will explore why human capabilities matter to Australia's workforce and how organisations can create the conditions for people to put them into practice.
Together, we'll explore:
- The human capabilities behind thriving workplaces: Why self-awareness, emotional intelligence, curiosity, communication, trust and accountability matter alongside technical skills.
- What changes when these capabilities are missing: How gaps can affect collaboration, decision-making, workplace relationships and the ability to navigate change.
- Why capability alone isn't enough: How leadership, team dynamics and workplace conditions influence whether people can apply what they've learned.
- From insight to action: Practical ways individuals, leaders and organisations can strengthen these capabilities and create the conditions for people to contribute, adapt and perform at their best.
You'll leave with a clearer understanding of the human capabilities that support a changing workforce, practical ideas to apply in your own context, and a fresh perspective on how people development can contribute to healthier workplaces and sustainable performance.
