Automation and digitalisation are changing the skills and competencies required for success and organisations are having trouble keeping up. According to a recent Gartner survey, 46% of HR leaders report that their employees lack the skills that are necessary to drive future performance.
To ensure employees have needed skills, HR leaders should partner with business leaders to understand and maintain the proper balance of emerging, existing and legacy skill sets. HR will also need to work with managers in order to demonstrate to employees how they will grow personally by developing in-demand skills and to connect employees to skill-building opportunities beyond their existing roles.
