Part I: Background Information (Questions)

Part III: Occupations, Skills and Tasks (Questions)

Part IV: Training and Reskilling (Questions)

Part V: COVID-19 section

Introduction Global trends, socio-economic and demographic factors, technological breakthroughs as well as the

current COVID-19 health pandemic are having large scale effects on the global workforce. Labour

markets are undergoing major transformations, new categories of jobs are emerging, others are

partly or wholly being displaced.

What is the short- and long-term impact on jobs and skills? What is the magnitude of these changes?

How will these forces and major disruptions to the labour market bring about business model

change in industries and geographies? There is now more than ever an increased need for tangible

evidence and reliable information from the frontlines of this change.

The World Economic Forum’s Platform for Shaping the Future of the New Economy and Society has

created a survey that asks global leaders to share their views and planning on topics key to managing

the transition to the future of work. The survey covers long- as well as short-term transformations

and is a key component of the Future of Jobs Report, which provides invaluable and actionable

insight on the job landscape within geographies and industries.

The first four parts of the survey focus on the long-term effect on all these trends on your company

and employees. Part five specifically covers the short-term effects and responses to the current

COVID-19 outbreak.

Who should complete this survey?

The questions in this survey will require deep insight into your organization’s current strategy as well

as talent-related aspects of operationalizing this strategy. We are looking for respondents who have

an eye on strategic concerns, as well as the changes to jobs and skills we are likely to see leading up

to 2024.

Although the right individual will vary from organization to organization, our target respondents for

the survey are the following: Chief Human Resources Officers, Chief Executive Officers, Chief

Strategy Officers, Chief Financial Officers and Chief Innovation Officers. We will also accept

responses from your organization’s operational contact in close consultation with the relevant

executives.

Completing the survey

Please answer the questions below to the best of your knowledge on behalf of your organization.

The survey will take approximately 40 minutes to complete. Should you have any questions or

require clarification regarding the survey, please do not hesitate to contact us at: [email protected].

You can return to previous questions at any point to edit your answers as well as exit the survey and

later return to the point where you left off.

The survey is confidential; we will not share confidential information about you or your organization.

Results will be anonymous and reported in aggregate unless you consent to an alternative

arrangement. Your name, organization name, title and contact information are for internal use only
