Since generative AI first captured the world’s attention a year and a half ago, there’s been a vigorous discussion about what, exactly, the new technology is best used for. While we all enjoyed those early funny chats and witty limericks, we’ve quickly discovered that many of the biggest AI opportunities are clearly in the enterprise. Our customers and partners at Google Cloud have found real potential for creating new processes, efficiencies, and innovations with generative AI. For proof, look no further than the 300-plus organizations who are featured at this week’s Next event in Las Vegas. In a matter of months, organizations like these have gone from AI helping answer questions, to AI making predictions, to generative AI agents. What makes AI agents unique is that they can take actions to achieve specific goals, whether that’s guiding a shopper to the perfect pair of shoes, helping an employee looking for the right health benefits, or supporting nursing staff with smoother patient hand-offs during shifts changes. In our work with customers, we keep hearing that their teams are increasingly focused on improving productivity, automating processes and modernizing the customer experience. These aims are now being achieved through the AI agents they’re developing in six key areas: customer service; employee empowerment; creative ideation and production; data analysis; code creation; and cybersecurity. These special capabilities are made possible in large part by the new multimodal capacity of generative AI and AI foundation models, which allow agents to handle tasks across a range of communications modes, including text, voice, video, audio, code, and more.

The Consortium is catalyzed by the work of the U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council's (TTC) Talent for Growth Task Force, with the goal of exploring AI's impact on ICT job roles, enabling workers to find and access relevant training programs, and connecting businesses to skilled and job-ready workers. Working as a private sector collaborative, the Consortium is evaluating how AI is changing the jobs and skills workers need to be successful. The first phase of work will culminate in a report with actionable insights for business leaders and workers. Further details will be shared in the coming months. Findings will be intended to offer practical insights and recommendations to employers that seek ways to reskill and upskill their workers in preparation for AI-enabled environments. Consortium members represent a cross section of companies innovating on the cutting edge of AI that also understand the current and impending impact of AI on the workforce. Individually, Consortium members have documented opportunities and challenges presented by AI. The collaborative effort enables their organizations to coalesce insights, recommend action plans, and activate findings within their respective broad spheres of influence. "AI is accelerating the pace of change for the global workforce, presenting a powerful opportunity for the private sector to help upskill and reskill workers for the future," said Francine Katsoudas, Executive Vice President and Chief People, Policy & Purpose Officer, Cisco. "The mission of our newly unveiled AI-Enabled Workforce Consortium is to provide organizations with knowledge about the impact of AI on the workforce and equip workers with relevant skills. We look forward to engaging other stakeholders—including governments, NGOs, and the academic community—as we take this important first step toward ensuring that the AI revolution leaves no one behind." The Consortium's work is inspired by the TTC's Talent for Growth Task Force and Cisco Chair and CEO Chuck Robbins' leadership of its skills training workstream, and input from the U.S. Department of Commerce. The TTC was established in June 2021 by U.S. President Biden, European Commission President von der Leyen, and European Council President Michel to promote U.S. and EU competitiveness and prosperity through cooperation and democratic approaches to trade, technology, and security. "At the U.S. Department of Commerce, we're focused on fueling advanced technology and deepening trade and investment relationships with partners and allies around the world. This work is helping us build a strong and competitive economy, propelled by a talented workforce that's enabling workers to get into the good quality, high-paying, family-sustaining jobs of the future. We recognize that economic security and national security are inextricably linked. That's why I'm proud to see the efforts of the Talent for Growth Task Force continue with the creation of the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. "I am grateful to the consortium members for joining in this effort to confront the new workforce needs that are arising in the wake of AI's rapid development. This work will help provide unprecedented insight on the specific skill needs for these jobs. I hope that this Consortium is just the beginning, and that the private sector sees this as a call to action to ensure our workforces can reap the benefits of AI." The AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium's efforts address a business critical and growing need for a proficient workforce that is trained in various aspects of AI, including the skills to implement AI applications across business processes. The Consortium will leverage its members and advisors to recommend and amplify reskilling and upskilling training programs that are inclusive and can benefit multiple stakeholders – students, career changers, current IT workers, employers, and educators – in order to skill workers at scale to engage in the AI era. In its first phase of work, the Consortium will evaluate the impact of AI on 56 ICT job roles and provide training recommendations for impacted jobs.

    LinkedIn发现,内部流动正在蓬勃发展,但对于低级别员工来说却并非如此 文章讨论了公司内部流动性的增长趋势,强调其对提高员工保留率和参与度的好处。LinkedIn的最新研究显示,自2021年以来,内部职位变动增加了30%,主要在中层及以上员工中。报告强调需要通过提供可见性、支持和发展机会来创建一个包容的流动文化。此外,文章还提到了内部招聘的广泛好处,如节省成本和增强公司文化。成功的内部流动技能包括协作、适应性和包容性领导。 内部职位转换 —— 当一名员工在同一家公司内部转到一个新职位 —— 正在显著增长,自2021年以来增长了30%,根据LinkedIn在2月22日发布的结果。 增长的一个重要原因是,LinkedIn的高级内容经理Greg Lewis在一篇博客中指出,内部职位转换是一种未被充分利用的补充空缺职位的方法,同时也是一个强大的工具,用于增加员工保留率并保持员工的积极参与。然而,这种转换似乎主要局限于中级员工及以上级别:比起普通员工,管理层及更高级别的员工进行内部职位转换的可能性要高出两倍。 人力资源专家可以通过“创建更加包容和平等的内部职位转换文化”来帮助缩小这一差距,Lewis提出。这包括为内部职位空缺提供更多可见性和支持,鼓励跨功能合作和指导,寻找和培养内部转移者倾向于发展的技能,如多样性与包容性(diversity and inclusion)、情感智力(emotional intelligence)和变革管理(change management)。 根据人才获取公司Symphony Talent的二月份报告,近半数的人力资源专业人员表示,建立人才管道是他们2024年的首要目标。内部招聘可以成为这一管道的一部分,带来如节约成本和增加员工留存等积极结果,其他研究也已表明这一点。 过去几年这种做法有所起伏,2020年疫情期间达到高峰,The Josh Bersin Company之前的研究揭示了这一点。那时,公司利用现有员工填补劳动力缺口,并发现内部招聘有助于提高公司文化、提升员工保留率、降低成本和缩短招聘时间。 据LinkedIn称,内部人员流动率在2021年有所下降,但在2022年开始回升,并持续到次年。 正确的策略能使每个人受益,早期的LinkedIn研究显示。职业发展机会被员工视为留在公司的顶级原因之一,一位LinkedIn高管表示。那些提供个性化职业发展并帮助员工建立技能的组织,其内部职位转换率比缺乏培训的公司高出15%。 在这份报告中,LinkedIn比较了成员在开始新职位前12个月加到他们个人资料中的技能。结果显示,与离开公司的同事相比,内部转移者更有可能发展特定技能。 例如,内部转移者发展多样性与包容性技能的可能性几乎高出50%;发展情感智力技能的可能性高出27%;发展变革管理技能的可能性高出21%。其他显著的技能包括利益相关者参与(超过14%)和敏捷项目管理(12%)。 “最能预示内部职位转换者的技能主要围绕合作、包容和适应性 —— 能够与同事建立联系、让每个人感受到包容,并在组织层面推动变革,”LinkedIn表示。

    警惕升级:英国招聘诈骗案激增,全球招聘诈骗都不少 英国伦敦警察局的最新数据显示,向行动欺诈部门报告招聘诈骗案件的人数增加了超过八倍,过去一年通过招聘诈骗短信和WhatsApp信息盗取的金额从2万英镑跃升至近100万英镑。然而,伦敦警察局临时指挥官奥利弗·肖表示,这可能只是“冰山一角”,因为此类欺诈行为“极其被低报”。 招聘诈骗涉及犯罪分子以额外工作或收入的承诺吸引受害者,然后骗取他们的银行详情或控制他们的手机来盗取钱款。 18岁的贝拉·贝特顿(Bella Betterton)来自德文郡,她上了招聘诈骗的当,被骗走了3000英镑。诈骗分子首先通过WhatsApp信息和电话与她联系。诈骗分子通过电话进行了一次贝拉以为是真实的面试,面试内容是关于远程工作,包括使用他们的钱购买和评估产品。犯罪分子通过数十条信息和电话与贝拉沟通,直到他们在她的手机上安装了她怀疑是恶意软件的东西,从而进行了四笔大额的信用卡支付,支付给了一个不明的加密货币交易所。诈骗分子可能会要求支付少量的预付款,他们声称这些款项将在受害者的第一份工资中报销,用于支付正当的费用——如DBS检查、安全检查和小型设备。 金斯顿大学的犯罪学家、也是欺诈者使用的语言和短语专家的伊丽莎白·卡特博士说,招聘诈骗是一种高数量、多阶段的犯罪。“这些短信只会对一部分人有意义……但这是一个数量游戏。犯罪分子只需要少数人回应,受害者就会自行筛选。 “欺诈者会让受害者经历几个阶段,这些阶段是你通常会期望一个人力资源部门会问的——姓名、地址、出生日期、银行详情。 “所有这些信息本身就是有价值的数据,所以即使这个案件没有变成欺诈,这些数据也是有价值的,可以在暗网上出售。” 许多人员招聘公司已经加入了Jobsaware计划,这是执法机关和英国政府为应对这一问题而成立的特别工作组的一部分。该计划是在大流行期间招聘诈骗案件增加后推出的。到目前为止,近500家英国招聘公司向其候选人推广JobsAware,每天有超过50万个在线职位广告展示JobsAware的标志。 The rise in recruitment scams in the UK, as reported by the City of London Police, is a concerning trend that highlights the evolving nature of online fraud. The statistics indicate a significant increase in these scams, with an eightfold rise in reports to Action Fraud and the amount of money stolen jumping from £20,000 to nearly £1 million in just one year. This dramatic escalation underscores the seriousness and growing sophistication of these scams. Recruitment scams typically involve criminals offering fake job opportunities to lure individuals. They use the promise of work or extra income to deceive victims into providing bank details or gaining access to their phones, often leading to substantial financial losses. The case of 18-year-old Bella Betterton from Devon is a poignant example. She was deceived through WhatsApp messages and phone calls, believing she was participating in a legitimate job interview. The scammers groomed her with consistent communication before presumably installing malware on her phone, which resulted in significant financial loss. The complexity of these scams is highlighted by Dr. Elisabeth Carter, a criminologist at Kingston University. She points out that recruitment scams are high-volume, multi-stage crimes, employing specific language and tactics to manipulate victims. By mimicking the processes of legitimate HR departments, fraudsters collect valuable personal data, which can be used for further fraud or sold on the dark web. The response to this growing threat includes initiatives like the Jobsaware scheme, a collaboration between law enforcement, the UK government, and staffing firms. This program aims to combat recruitment scams, especially following their increase during the pandemic. Nearly 500 UK recruiters are participating in promoting JobsAware to their candidates, and more than half a million online job adverts display the JobsAware logo daily, demonstrating the scale of efforts to raise awareness and protect job seekers. This situation serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance in the digital age, especially when seeking employment opportunities online. Individuals must be cautious and verify the legitimacy of job offers and recruiters. Additionally, this highlights the importance of ongoing efforts by authorities, organizations, and the public in combating such fraudulent activities.
