Artificial intelligence is driving the next generation of jobs in the UK

The UK job market will drastically change in the coming years, with 133 million new jobs expected to be created globally, as industries adopt AIArtificial intelligence is driving the next generation of jobs in the UK image
As artificial intelligence continues to pervade a range of industries, the next generation of jobs is on the horizon.
In the UK alone, up to a third of jobs will be automated or likely to change as a result of the emergence of AI — impacting 10.5 million workers, according to the latest report from global recruiter Robert Walters and market analysis experts Vacancy Soft.
“As businesses become ever more reliant on AI, there is an increasing amount of pressure on the processes of data capture and integration. As a result, we have seen an unprecedented number of roles being created with data skill-set at their core,” said Ollie Sexton, principal at Robert Walters.
“Our job force cannot afford to not get to grips with data and digitalisation. Since 2015 the volume of data created worldwide has more than doubled – increasing (on average) by 28% year-on-year.
“Now is the perfect time to start honing UK talent for the next generation of AI-influenced jobs. If you look at the statistics in this report we can see that demand is already rife, what we are at risk of is a shortage of talent and skills.”

Data professional demand on the rise

IT professionals dedicated to data management appeared to be the fastest growing area within large or global entities, with volumes increasing ten-fold in three years — an increase in vacancies of 160% since 2015. And in general, data roles across businesses have increased by 80% since 2015 — with key areas of growth including data scientists and engineers.
The emergence of the data scientist as a mainstream profession is perhaps the most interesting development, with job vacancies increasing by a staggering 110% year-on-year. The same trend can be seen with data engineers, averaging 86% year-on-year job growth.

The Proper Way to Correct I-9 Documents and Not Pay Penalties

Surprising as it might sound, many employers are either unaware of I-9 documents penalties and fines, or are willing to take the risk of noncompliance. This is a very bad situation to be in, something that has been compounded by the fact that the regulatory agencies are communicating more than ever before on this topic. The way in which the departments communicate with each other makes it easier for them to target employers. Yet, the fact is that most complaints come from disgruntled employees, while others come from audits of target industries. Moreover, the DHS developed a new I-9 Form effective from January 21, 2017, which has to be used immediately. This makes it imperative for employers to be aware of all the new guidelines for completing the new I-9 form as well as the ongoing regulations. A webinar that is being organized by Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, will give proper understanding and perspective on ...

Changing Behavior: Why Rewards and Punishments Often Aren't Enough

Major changes have been taking place at the workplace. Today, the workforce is no longer a staid or static one. It is lively, vibrant and mobile. No organization can expect to retain a workforce in which wholehearted appreciation is not forthcoming or where the employees do not make a difference. Organizations judge employees on the quality of their own work, but also that of their team members. This makes it necessary for individuals to assist their team members and help them raise their standards. However, with each employee being unique, one standard method or principle cannot be applied across the board. Team members, especially Leads and Managers, need to learn the fundamentals of human motivation if they have to motivate and engage each employee and the entire team for top performance in tune with their unique strengths, attitudes and skillsets. Some of the questions they have to pose to themselves and be able to answer include: What works well and what doesn’t? How effecti...
