As Technology Changes the Workforce, CSR an Avenue for Employee Education Opportunities

Stats: By 2026 technological changes will displace  1.4 million jobs. 70% of the losses will be because a current job will cease to exist.

Potential Solutions: 

• Tuition reimbursement programs for continuing education
• PTO for continuing education

Key Takeaways: There are questions as to responsibility for the pending workforce disruption – government, the individual, or the company. Because CSR focuses on the community, companies can fold employee education into their current CSR programs preventing a decline in local unemployment.
