Alvernia President Fitzgerald featured in article about workplace adaptability

Alvernia President Glynis A. Fitzgerald, Ph.D., was featured in "Adaptability in the Workplace," an article written by Adam Mendler, a nationally recognized authority on leadership.

"Adaptability in the workplace is becoming increasingly important as technology, industries, and job requirements continue to change," wrote Mendler, a leadership keynote speaker. "The skills people rely on today may evolve, responsibilities may shift, and new tools may change how work gets done. Being able to adjust, learn, and keep moving forward can make the difference between falling behind and continuing to grow."

Fitzgerald discussed the importance of reinvention, highlighting the human skills that will matter most in a changing workplace.

"The future of work will belong to people who are prepared not only to navigate change, but to lead it with purpose," Fitzgerald said. "While artificial intelligence and emerging technologies will continue to reshape every industry, the qualities that make us uniquely human – critical thinking, creativity, empathy, ethical judgment, and resilience – will become even more valuable. Technical skills will continue to evolve throughout a person’s career, making adaptability, lifelong learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration essential to long-term success. The future of work will reward those who can combine technical expertise with ethical leadership and a commitment to continuous learning. Our goal is not simply to educate graduates who can respond to change, but to develop leaders who will shape the future of work in ways that strengthen their professions, enrich their communities, and improve society."
