The need for pertinent skills is invaluable in every industrial evolution and will not be any different for the fourth industrial revolution. Appropriate employee wellness programmes will enable an increase in the potential of employees to develop the required skills necessary for the fourth industrial revolution. The fourth industrial revolution is having the blurring line effect between the physical, digital, and biological spheres characterised by systems, scope, and velocity. This chapter shall address the need of changing skills and its relevance to the fourth industrial revolution, employee effectiveness, and efficiency.
