New Collar Skills – Identifying and Developing the Skills of Your Future Workforce
Even before 2020, HR leaders were engaged in a war for talent and recognized the need to upskill and reskill their workforce to address mounting skills gaps. Now that the future of work has arrived and businesses continue to face volatility and tightened budgets, leaders recognize that resilience and agility needs to be baked-in to their existing workforce. This requires being able to shift employee roles to focus on new and different business priorities when needed and adopt practices that put the right people in the right place at the right time. It also requires looking into the near future to identify the skills you don’t yet need but soon will.
Join this thought-provoking panel of HR leaders to discuss:
- Identifying your skills gaps and the skills of the future in your industry and professions
- Creating a roadmap for upskilling, reskilling and cross training your workforce
- Taking a human-centered approach to upskilling and reskilling your workforce
- Breaking down silos between learning, skills and careers
