Reskilling

Reskilling is learning new skills to keep up with the changing demands of work or apply to a different job. Reskilling is the buzzword in the employment market today because of automation. The frequently changing environment of work has mandated that individuals continue to reskill to stay relevant. Reskilling is usually an activity that organizations undertake for the entire organization or team. It can also be taken up at an individual level by employees themselves to improve their productivity.

Reskilling requires organizations to identify their employees’ future skills and compare them against their existing skill levels. Reskilling is considered an excellent means to retain employees by offering them the opportunity to learn and grow on the job. Reskilling saves time and resources that go into hiring and provides a more cost-prudent and time-saving alternative.
