As employers recognize the importance of skill development in employee engagement and retention, there is a growing need for tools and technologies that can effectively support and track skill development initiatives. According to the University of Phoenix's Annual Career Optimism Index 2023, opportunities for skill development and career advancement are key considerations for employees in terms of job retention. The study found that among those actively seeking employment or anticipating a job search within the next six months, 68% stated that if their company invested more in upskilling and reskilling initiatives, they would be more inclined to remain with the organization.
Additionally, 70% of workers expressed that if their company provided them with enough opportunities to use acquired skills, they would be more likely to stay with the organization across their career path. Skills management software plays a vital role in supporting career advancement by identifying employees' existing skills, mapping them to career paths, and creating personalized development plans. This facilitates talent retention and encourages employees to stay within the organization, driving the adoption of skills management software.
With companies recognizing the importance of learning and training to achieve their business goals, there is an increased demand for tools and technologies that can effectively support and track employee skills development. According to a survey conducted by the World Economic Forum, a significant majority of companies reported that their primary workforce strategies for achieving business goals in the next five years (2023-2027) will focus on investing in learning and on-the-job training by 81.2% as well as automating processes by 80.0%. These two strategies emerged as the most common approaches among surveyed companies to drive organizational success and meet future objectives.
Additionally, the advent of remote work, the gig economy, and digital transformation have further accentuated the need for skills management software. With employees working from different locations, organizations require efficient tools to identify and leverage the diverse skills available within their workforce. Skills management software provides a centralized platform to manage skills data, facilitate remote skill assessment, and support virtual collaboration and knowledge sharing.
