Skills Development in the New World of Work

Webinar on Demand

The competition for talent is intensifying as global talent shortages worsen. As a result, organisations are shifting to skillsbased hiring as well as developing skills within their existing workforce, not only to attract and retain high performing people, but also to enable them to take advantage of new opportunities, respond to the pace of digital innovation and the challenges of climate change. Skills are a hot topic. In this challenging environment, L&D teams play a critical role as experts and enablers of skills development. But with the world moving fast, and resources tight, how can L&D teams rise to the challenge? And what can they do to enable organisations, teams and individuals to learn skills at the pace of the new world of work?

In this webinar with David Perring, Director of Research, Fosway Group, and Daniel Mills, Valamis Senior Learning Consultant, we will explore:

  • How skills intelligence is changing organisations
  • How to manage employees’ skills in fast growing companies?
  • Why skills assessments are important in employee development
  • How to prepare managers/leaders for upskilling/reskilling their workforce
  • How the human connection around skills matters – from skills assessment to skills development
