Pinpoint Your Endangered Skills: Understand Where to Focus Your Upskilling Efforts in 2021
Recent Degreed research, the State of Skills 2021: Endangered, found that current economic uncertainty due to COVID-19 is accelerating the demand for new skills. 60% of managers and workers feel that they need to upskill as a result of the crisis. Yet, nearly half of businesses reduced their upskilling opportunities during the crisis.
As a result, the already widening skills gap in organisations will grow even wider - and it’s putting more pressure on workers and their mental health.
- 50% of workers feel that a lack of confidence in their skills makes their job more stressful
- 40% feel that this impacts their productivity
- 36% of them say that they are more likely to leave their employer if they don't see a commitment to their upskilling
So, how can organisations better align their upskilling strategy with their business’ objectives to improve skill-levels, loyalty and productivity?
Join Louise Anderson, VP, Australia and New Zealand at Degreed to learn how to prepare your workforce over the coming year. She will talk about:
- The key results of the State of Skills 2021 report across the world and unique findings in Australia and New Zealand
- How this aligns with current and future upskilling trends
- How to better align your skills strategy with business objectives
- How this approach will help your workforce succeed in 2021
