HR technology firm Plum has released its 2025 Durable Skills Index, ranking the most enduring workforce strengths across 82 North American cities. Based on 59,000 participants and 2.5 million assessment responses, the index spotlights skills such as communication, adaptability, and decision-making—traits CEO Caitlin MacGregor calls “durable” rather than “soft.”
The study shows Kitchener-Waterloo excels in communication and persuasion, while Calgary leads in decision-making and innovation. Using its AI-powered Role Model platform, Plum helps employers align these durable skills with 40,000 job types, offering data-driven insights for workforce planning and career development in an era of rapid automation.
