Here’s a sobering fact—nearly 87 percent of employers report they are having trouble finding qualified candidates. The skills gap is real, and it’s only becoming more pronounced as time moves forward. What many employers don’t realize, though, is that they can’t hire their way out of the problem. In most cases, new talent isn’t the answer. What will bridge the divide is upskilling and reskilling. By creating a culture where learning and development are key pillars of success, skills gaps can be addressed more effectively and efficiently. You can accomplish this when you make learning part of your employees’ KPIs. When development is built into the metrics of success for every role, your employees will develop organically to meet the changing demands of their jobs. That said, it’s important to ensure the learning resources available to employees are relevant and can be tailored to their specific needs. Technological advancements have made on-demand learning a reality, and smart business leaders are taking advantage.
