Session Focus: Reskilling Strategies
This session provided valuable perspectives on retooling talent to meet evolving organizational demands. As HR leaders, we know that fostering agility and resilience in our teams is crucial for sustained success. Here are three essential takeaways to consider:
1. Facilitate Continuous Learning
The role of L&D is evolving from content creation to being the “connective tissue” within organizations, enabling learning and decision-making across teams.
"When employees see learning and sharing as part of their job, it creates a continuous cycle that drives organizational agility." - by Marty Rosenheck
Building this mindset in your teams will allow knowledge-sharing and learning to become core to your organizational culture.
2. Empower Employees Through Transparency and Ownership
Equipping employees with accessible career pathways and self-assessment tools fosters transparency and engagement. Pairing self-assessments with manager ratings enables authentic conversations about development and skill gaps, empowering employees to take ownership of their career growth.
3. Balance Formal and Informal Learning
In a fast-paced environment, leaders must go beyond formal courses by incorporating on-the-job learning, mentoring, and apprenticeship programs. Blending these approaches creates a flexible learning environment where employees can rapidly acquire new skills aligned with real-time business needs.
By focusing on these strategies, HR leaders can help shape a culture that is adaptive, resilient, and ready for the future.
