Reskilling… upskilling… the future of work. No matter how it’s defined, companies are challenged with a critical need to build – and retain – skilled workforces to stay competitive.

According to a recent McKinsey article, “Learning organizations face a tension between continuing cost pressures in a downturn and the need to deliver training to help workers adapt to a changing organization and business environment.” The agenda for post-pandemic learning and development extends beyond reskilling, however, to three categories of cost-effective training:

  1. Broad-based digital training in essential skills
  2. Focused upskilling rooted in changing work
  3. Leadership development

So how can companies quickly upskill their Agile team members and leaders cost-effectively?

By developing a learning culture through encouraging self-training, peer support programs or pairing, and offering the exploration of new career paths within the organization. Companies are finding value through self-paced online learning platforms because they are cost-effective, available on-demand, and allow team members to customize their learning pathways.
