Skills, Not CVs: Building a Future-Ready Workforce

Forget job titles and paper qualifications — the future of work is being shaped by skills. We speak with Puneet Swani, Head of Talent Solutions for APAC at Aon, to unpack the findings of Aon’s 2025 APAC Skills Impact Survey. They explore why nearly 90% of organisations now see skills-based strategies as critical to business success, and what it takes to move from theory to execution. From career mobility to workforce planning and the growing influence of GenAI, this conversation tackles how HR leaders can build more resilient, adaptable teams, without drowning in frameworks and jargon.
