Are all employees knowledge workers?

In the 21st century, according to Playfoot ,on his research conducted on 2007,
there are competencies and skills that every employee needs to survive and thrive
in the modern workplace. Employees need hard skills, contextual knowledge, and
practical experience to do many jobs. However, a greater focus is now being placed
on behaviors. It is becoming increasingly important for workers to have the right
attitude, a willingness and ability to learn and an understanding of how to conduct
themselves in the workplace. Beyond these ,there are set of transferable qualities
these include problem solving skills, creativity, innovations, trust ,ability to lead and
manage others, ability to multi task, initiative, accepting of responsibility,
embracing teamwork, awareness of sustainability empathy, ability to communicate,
manner and cultural sensitivity above all employees must have the ability to learn.
I believe that all employees have the potential to be knowledge workers. Every
employee from the bottom of the organization to the top positions has the capacity
to be knowledge workers. When an applicant gets hired in a certain company,
assumingly, it has been hired for the reason that he is the most qualified for the job
amongst the other applicants for that matter and therefore it is considerably that
the certain employee will contribute to the growth of the company .Every employee
has its own job descriptions .Job descriptions would define their work . Starting from
the very first day of employment, wherein every employee get to be acquainted to
the workplace and to the other employees ,the vision and mission of that certain
workplace and every employee need to work for that common goal and that is to
be a factor in the growth and expansion of the company. From that day and onwards
he will qualified to be called a knowledge worker.
