Adecco president Christophe Catoir got started at the staffing giant as an intern. He’s had a front-row seat for the biggest trends shaping work ever since. He shares the insights from the firm’s annual skilling report, sharing sobering statistics on the share of workers globally who have been trained in AI so far and what’s needed to keep workers both engaged and employed in an upskilling cycle that will be continuous. He also shares his thoughts on how leaders in remote and hybrid workplaces will need to reevaluate how they coach and train teams, how apprenticeship thinking can help, and how his own career journey has changed him as a leader.
