In a recent article for Forbes ("The 10+ Most Important Job Skills Every Company Will Be Looking For In 2020"), Bernard Marr explains how workplaces are changing to embrace the 4th industrial revolution. He predicts that companies will be looking for these 10 job skills in 2020:

1. Data Literacy
2. Critical Thinking
3. Tech Savviness
4. Adaptability and Flexibility
5. Creativity
6. Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
7. Cultural Intelligence and Diversity
8. Leadership Skills
9. Judgment and Complex Decision Making
10. Collaboration

With these skills in mind, the question for many companies will be whether or not the physical workplace is innovative and collaborative enough to support a new generation of talent that possesses the skills to excel in the 4th industrial revolution. The workplace expectations of top talent are very high and traditional work spaces that were not designed for flexibility, collaboration, and innovation will come up short, placing those companies at a disadvantage in recruiting.
