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.
So, how can organisations better align their upskilling strategy with their business’s objectives to improve skill-levels, loyalty and productivity?
