In today's workplace

Adaptive performance is how well an individual adjusts to and understands change, uncertainty and stress.

Strong Adaptability skills will help people deal effectively with change and to learn new skills and behaviours when needed, stay focused on their responsibilities and goals, and not give up when situations are difficult.

The skill of Adaptability is important because

major changes in society affect how people work, live, and learn and require individuals to constantly adapt to change

The ability of an individual to adapt to changing circumstances is key to achieving long-term success.

Strong adaptability skills will help people to stay positive and manage the stress that can come from change in the workplace, community, and their home lives.
