Bangkok Business Events: Transforming Skills Amid a Global Labor Revolution
Global HR advisory giant Mercer is gearing up to host one of the most impactful HR events of the year—Thailand HR Conference 2025—under the compelling theme “The Great Play-off: Skills Revolution for a Future-Ready Workforce.” Set to take place on July 30, 2025, at the Phayathai Grand Ballroom, Eastin Grand Phayathai Bangkok, the event aims to dissect current labor market challenges and offer forward-thinking solutions for rapidly shifting workforce dynamics.

This Bangkok Business Events news report finds the conference timely, as Mercer’s Global Talent Trends 2025 reveals a sobering paradox: while 91% of employees are actively reskilling, a massive 98% of companies still suffer from critical skill shortages. This signals a deep mismatch between individual learning efforts and organizational demands—one that requires immediate strategic action.
AI Disruption A Double Edged Sword
Artificial Intelligence is no longer theoretical—it is actively transforming the workforce. Over a third of global executives view AI as a key enabler in identifying and mobilizing employee capabilities. Likewise, 46% of HR leaders believe AI can accelerate reskilling and fuel organizational innovation.
However, AI’s integration is not without concern. Alarmingly, 39% of workers feel devalued and more vulnerable to job loss than four years ago. These sentiments highlight the growing psychological burden of digital transformation. Mercer predicts that properly integrating AI into operations could boost productivity by 10% to 30%, especially in roles where AI-human collaboration thrives.
A Workforce Losing Motivation
Beyond technological disruption, Mercer’s global survey spanning over 20,000 companies found that one in three employees no longer wants to work. This reflects not just burnout, but also a dramatic shift in expectations. Many workers now view their roles as outdated, inflexible, and poorly designed for modern realities. Organizations struggling with stagnant productivity are being urged to rethink job architecture and embrace more adaptive people strategies.
