Unlocking the power of reskilling and upskilling to improve employee retention
The World Economic Forum’s Future of Work Survey 2023 reports that 53% of survey respondents list Skills Gap and Inability to attract talent, as key barriers to business transformation. In a world of constant and rapid transformation, fueled by increasing AI-driven developments, new skills requirements continue to emerge, while some existing skills are becoming obsolete. In Malta, this may be even more challenging, due to unique challenges that our island faces. Therefore successfully managing a cross-organisation shift in skills, looking at developing the skills within the organisation, empowering the workforce to remain relevant in today’s world, whilst retaining talent, is essential across all industries and sectors.
This workshop will discuss:
- What businesses can do to address the challenges that organisations are facing around talent shortages
- The significance of putting skills at the centre of the vision and strategy of an organisation
- Building the case for change to unlock the power of skills
