SIX Most Wanted Skills in 2024 [Full Details]



We asked six experts what they thought would be the most in-demand skill among employers in 2024 as we look to the future of employment. 

Discover the essential qualities these leaders are emphasizing and how their businesses are getting ready to recognize and develop these skills in applicants, from fostering soft skills for future success to getting ready for AI competency.

1. Soft Skills

I think the one skill that will be most sought-after by employers in 2024 will be soft skills. As the workforce welcomes the younger generations, there are basic people skills that are lacking and need to be taught. 


Anyone, regardless of education or technical ability, will need to know these skills in order to be successful. To nurture this skill, we will focus on leadership skills, customer service expectations and explicitly teach our crew how we expect our guests to be treated.

2. Efficiency Despite Uncertainty

The capacity to maintain productivity in the face of uncertainty is a quality that employers will most likely be looking for in 2024. It can be challenging to remain productive in the face of health crises, wars, and climate change, particularly if you're working in a challenging workplace. 

Our responsibility as an accountability-partner service is to ensure that individuals may accomplish their goals despite these outside influences.

3. Excellent Communication

I think one sought-after skill will be to be an excellent communicator. In today’s day and age, it’s easy to hide behind a screen. Those who I’ve seen become successful are excellent communicators and excellent listeners. Our organization prepares by offering excellent communication training specific to the medical device industry.

4. Adaptability and Resilience

In 2024, one of the most sought-after skills by employers is adaptability and resilience. The rapidly changing global landscape, technological advancements, and unexpected events like the Covid-19 pandemic have shown the importance of adaptability and resilience in the workplace.

5. Cooperation Capabilities

Employers will value good cross-channel communication skills more than ever as creative and business processes become more automated. Effective communication with a variety of internal and external stakeholders across an increasing number of digital and face-to-face channels is still a crucial ability that can promote collaboration, creativity, and economic success.

At Connect Vending, we continue to focus on a variety of soft skills, such as leadership development and communication training, for every single person in the organization, regardless of their role or function. Besides helping people enhance their skills, investing in these abilities helps us deliver the highest-quality customer service to our clients and prospective customers—something which we pride ourselves on.

6. AI Proficiency

As we navigate the digital frontier, one skill stands out as a beacon of future potential: proficiency with artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. Integrating AI into various sectors is not just a trend; it’s a transformation. By 2024, employers will be actively seeking individuals who can harness the power of AI, leveraging its capabilities to drive innovation, efficiency and growth.

Our organization has embarked on a proactive journey in anticipation of this shift. We’ve initiated a specialized training program, “AI Mastery,” designed to equip our team with the nuances of AI platforms.
