generalists Need a ReFramE
The World Economic Forum reports that 44% of employers believe that
6 in 10 employees will need reskilling in 2027.
​
In 2023, OC Tanner surveyed 38,000 and found that half identified as Generalists.
To truly thrive, Generalists need what Specialists have long had: job descriptions, roles, performance assessments, promotion, and development that align with their unique roles, needs, and talents to address the challenges ahead.
To meet the demands of change, we need what Generalists uniquely bring: a ranging curiosity, a creative approach to problem solving and a leaerning mindset that enables iteration and practice.

“Reframe is both a practical guide and a salve for the soul. It gives language to the unspoken truths many of us live with, explaining why we think and act as we do. For those of us who are Generalists, it shines a light on the often-invisible value we bring to the world and reminds us that we’re not alone. Reading it gave me clarity about my own winding path and affirmed that the perspective we carry, while sometimes isolating, is exactly what’s needed in times of change.”"
