Lighthouse Research & Advisory: 2024 Workforce Agility Infographic
Rapid technological advancements and unpredictable market dynamics create an incredible challenge for organizations — the workforce readiness gap.

The gap is only getting wider, and in turn impacting revenue and efficiency. But there is a solution. It’s workforce agility. Employee development, visibility into skills, and the increasing rate of change all contribute to the workforce readiness gap.
