Most HR Leaders Say Half Of Workers Will Need Reskilling In Coming Years
HRDIVE, Tuesday, January 30th, 2024
The clock is ticking as leaders try to tackle the skills gap, emphasizing a need for skills-based talent strategies, a new report says.
About 90% of HR leaders believe up to half of their workforce will need to be reskilled in the next five years, according to a Jan. 23 report from PeopleScout and Spotted Zebra.
However, only 7% noted an active investment in their reskilling programs, and 45% said they had no plans to undertake a workforce transformation initiative to prepare for the changing skills landscape.
'Skills-based talent strategies are essential, and the clock is ticking for employers across all regions and industries,' Nick Shaw, founder and chief customer officer of Spotted Zebra, an HR tech company, said in a statement.
