Aon Survey Highlights the Critical Role of Skills in Shaping the Future Workforce Across APAC
90 percent of organisations consider skills-related initiatives to be highly important 61 percent of organisations have implemented skills-based programs to address top talent priorities Career development is emerging as the biggest use case for skills-related initiatives SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 July 2025 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, has released insights from its 2025 Asia Pacific (APAC) Skills Impact Survey Report, identifying critical skill gaps and assessing workforce readiness to guide strategic talent development across the APAC region. The study gathered input from over 135 organisations across APAC to identify common challenges businesses face in integrating skills into workforce decision-making, strategies, and whether organisations are beginning to prioritise skills over experience. 'As businesses face an increasingly dynamic environment, there is a strong need for relevant future-ready skills over traditional work experience to build a resilient and agile workforce,' said Puneet Swani, head of Talent Solutions for APAC at Aon. 'Organisations must prioritise skills development and leverage people analytics to improve HR and business outcomes. By doing so, they can foster a resilient and adaptable workforce ready to meet future challenges.' ADVERTISEMENT The survey found that the value of skills is critical for attracting and retaining talent, enhancing workforce agility and resilience, and building strong leaders. Almost 40 percent of organisations are at the critical stage of developing talent strategies and programs tailored around new and future skills. Furthermore, 68 percent of organisations have an articulated skills framework as the foundation for such practices. Overall, 44 percent of organisations are exploring technology tools, assessment platforms and external benchmarks for skills identification, but over half (56 percent) still depend on traditional methods such as job descriptions and manager surveys. Top skills influencing talent practices include career development and mobility, learning and development, recruitment and selection, succession planning and workforce planning. The study also found organisations are using skills information for employee career development, with nearly 40 percent of respondents already aligning skills with lateral role opportunities for colleagues. This strategy enhances employee experience and data shows it boosts candidate success rates. The survey expects within the next 12 – 24 months, around 45 percent of organisations will adopt the practice of aligning skills with lateral opportunities for colleagues. However, the survey respondents have identified barriers in advancing the skills agenda in their organisations. Maggie You, head of people advisory for APAC at Aon, said, 'The top challenges for progressing with skills initiatives include limited budget and resources, measuring program effectiveness, and identifying relevant skills. To overcome these barriers, organisations must take small steps by starting with pilot programs, using objective assessments and clear KPIs, engaging business stakeholders, and aligning skills frameworks with job architecture and external benchmarks.'

Cloudflare AI Update Blocks Crawlers by Default
Home » Emerging technologies » Networking » Cloudflare AI Update Blocks Crawlers by Default Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, announced a major update to protect original online content. The company revealed it is now the first Internet infrastructure provider to block AI crawlers by default. This move aims to stop AI companies from accessing web content without permission or compensation. Starting immediately, website owners can choose whether AI crawlers can access their content and how it can be used. AI companies must now clearly state if their crawlers are used for training, inference, or search. This transparency helps content creators make informed decisions. Cloudflare reported that this new setting marks a step toward a more sustainable future for both creators and AI innovators. For years, search engines directed users to original websites, generating traffic and ad revenue. That model is now disrupted. AI crawlers collect content like text and images but often provide no referral traffic. This change, Cloudflare warned, risks removing incentives to produce high-quality content. Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare, stated, 'If the Internet is going to survive the age of AI, we need to give publishers control and build a new economic model.' He emphasized that original content powers the Internet and must be protected. Prince added, 'Our goal is to put the power back in the hands of creators, while still helping AI companies innovate.' Several publishing and tech leaders voiced strong support for Cloudflare's move: Roger Lynch, CEO of Condé Nast, called it a 'game-changer' for publishers. Neil Vogel, CEO of Dotdash Meredith, said AI platforms must fairly compensate creators. Renn Turiano of Gannett Media praised the technology for combating unauthorized scraping. Pinterest CEO Bill Ready said the update helps ensure content is used as intended. Reddit's CEO Steve Huffman agreed, stating that crawling should be more transparent and controlled. Vivek Shah, CEO of Ziff Davis, applauded the step as a boost for a sustainable digital ecosystem. Cloudflare revealed it manages 20% of global web traffic and handles trillions of requests daily. In September 2024, the company introduced an option to block AI crawlers with one click. Over one million customers enabled this option. Now, Cloudflare is enforcing a permission-based model. New domains must choose whether to allow AI crawlers during setup. This removes the need to manually opt out later. Cloudflare also announced new protocols to help AI bots authenticate themselves. These protocols will make it easier for website owners to identify AI crawlers and control access. The company reported support from global publishers and media organizations including TIME, Condé Nast, Gannett Media, Reddit, and Pinterest. Cloudflare stated this is about protecting intellectual property while still enabling innovation. The update supports a fairer Internet where content creators retain control and receive proper recognition.
