Academic workplace training is characterized by a consistent effort to meet the demands of a competitive global environment. The ever-evolving state of the technological world has made it paramount to match the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) of other worldwide leaders. In addition, the growing workplace diversity presents the opportunity to expand intercultural efforts. The ability to lead globally, embracing individuals of all ethnicities, races, genders, etc. has become imperative for the success of organizations worldwide. The historic event of the pandemic has rendered some workplace theories partially outdated, per the technological shifts that followed. Recent disruptions have highlighted our growing reliance on emerging technology such as artificial intelligence, virtual collaboration software, and cloud software. Consequently, the need to expand risk mitigation strategies has become imperative to workplace success.
Due to the workplace’s constantly evolving nature, the guidebook must accommodate forward-thinking theories and research - writing in accordance with the evolution of the global environment. Our group of authors and board members was collected to cover a diverse list of topics according to their industries. This guidebook will be a resource for those looking to retrain and reskill according to the evergreen technological environment of the global workplace.
