However, users share common complaints, with the most common one being frameworks are often too generic and provide no role-specific insights, followed by the shallowness or complete lack of consideration for much-valued transferable &nbsp;skills.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about assessing AI fluency, <b>78%<\/b> emphasized that <b>future assessments must move beyond technical tool proficiency<\/b> to provide a thorough evaluation of AI readiness, including critical judgment and data literacy to use AI safely and effectively &#8211; and make sense of the information it provides.<\/p>\n<p><b>The skills that matter most to today&#8217;s HR leaders <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The most important skills are largely transferable, softer skills, core to the values of today&#8217;s organizations and now some of the strongest indicators of how effectively people are working with AI.<\/p>\n<p>HR leaders listed the most important capabilities as:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>AI tool proficiency (48%)<\/li>\n<li>Data literacy (43%)<\/li>\n<li>Adaptability (42%)<\/li>\n<li>Problem solving (40%)<\/li>\n<li>Judgement and critical thinking (36%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The challenge now goes beyond identifying these capabilities to understanding how they work collaboratively in a real-life setting &#8211; and how they can be measured consistently.<\/p>\n<p><b>The need for AI-driven, role-specific talent assessment<\/b><\/p>\n<p>To keep up with the adoption of AI, HR leaders are asking for talent assessment frameworks that offer a rigorous assessment of AI fluency, and that can be easily tailored to evaluate role-specific skills \u2013 including transferable skills.<\/p>\n<p>Non-negotiable priorities, both among US and UK leaders, are:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>a deeply scientific and validated methodology<\/li>\n<li>solid proof of business impact through case studies<\/li>\n<li>integration capabilities into existing HR tech stacks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Commenting on the study&#8217;s results, Dawn Curless, VP, Global Marketing at Talogy said: &#8220;AI is reshaping talent management faster than most HR teams can design frameworks. The challenge organizations now face is defining, assessing, and developing the relevant transferable skills needed to drive better outcomes alongside AI. That&#8217;s why, at Talogy, we offer a comprehensive range of talent assessments that can be combined to create the perfect solution for every need.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From identifying and developing high potential talent to mapping emotional intelligence and cognitive ability to support a strong company culture, it&#8217;s vital to combine proven scientific methodology with the flexibility HR leaders need to adapt to specific roles and career paths.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the study&#8217;s results <a href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4756503-1&amp;h=1941562510&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F4fQcUxP&amp;a=here\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>, and find out about Talogy&#8217;s assessment solutions <a href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4756503-1&amp;h=2347228696&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F3Rm9Hfm&amp;a=here\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4756503-1&amp;h=630657027&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Ffile%2Fd%2F1U76jxxtPzUSZ8pNOWGo0zbR-Tu1Bt4kS%2Fview%3Fusp%3Dsharing&amp;a=Image\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Image<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talogy research suggests AI is evolving faster than our ability to understand what good AI-human performance looks like. 95% of organizations say AI is automating work at least moderately 78% face challenges when assessing AI skills, with current frameworks lacking depth and personalization Just 38% feel &#8216;very prepared&#8217; to adapt job descriptions and career paths [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
