The transformation of the job market is a reality. Automation, digitalisation and artificial intelligence are changing the nature of our tasks and how we perform them, as well as the roles that are evolving.
In this context, companies need to adapt and take a closer look at their teams: do they have the necessary skills to face the future?
Upskilling and reskilling are two essential strategies that can unlock the potential of teams and ensure business sustainability.
But what exactly are upskilling and reskilling?
Upskilling involves updating or expanding a person’s existing skills. For example, an accountant could learn to use new data analysis tools.
Reskilling, on the other hand, involves training someone to take on a different role to the one they currently hold. For instance, an administrative employee might train to move into the human resources department.
Both strategies are based on the same principle: that people can adapt if given the right opportunities. Investing in learning improves performance and fosters engagement, motivation and a sense of belonging.
How can you apply this strategy to your business?
First, identify the skills your organisation needs to remain competitive. Next, integrate talent development into your business strategy.
Upskilling and reskilling are not just training strategies for your team; they’re tools for optimising and transforming the way your company works.
