Introduction
Business scenarios are witnessing winds of change like never before. As innovation takes place at breakneck speed, organizations in different sectors are scrambling to keep up.
Digital transformation is a given in every arena. Some companies are at an advanced stage of adapting to it, while others are gearing up for the journey. Technology enterprises have a greater need to adopt new practices than others because it can directly impact their revenues.
So, how do they ensure they are up to speed? What makes a company tick is the capability of its employees. The collective performance of the workforce can make or break the organization. Therefore, a highly skilled team of professionals is essential to its success. In a dynamic environment, skills need upgrades to keep pace with emerging technologies. And that endeavour requires a certain degree of regularity and frequency. Organizations need their professionals to keep learning, elevate their competency levels, and earn certifications in tech stacks pertinent to their areas.
What may have been a sought-after skill five years ago may be considered obsolete today and may not even exist in people’s memories over the next three years! That is how short the life-cycle of technical skills is. Both employers and employees recognize this trend. That’s why upskilling is no longer just a buzz-word in boardrooms, and re-skilling is no longer associated only with career transitions. And this fact is evident throughout the world. According to BCG’s Decoding Global Talent survey covering 366,000 people over 19 countries, 49% of the respondents believed that changing technologies would play a significant role in their future career paths. They considered automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence as the top driving forces among these. 72% of professionals in technology, IT, and scientific domains tended to spend at least a few weeks in a year upskilling or re-skilling themselves. The BCG report also clearly indicated that people now prefer self-learning methods over traditional ways like conferences or educational institutions. While on-the-job training programs are still favoured, motivated IT professionals are also keen adopters of online learning platforms and mobile apps. Nearly 54% of self-learners choose one of these two routes.
It’s no surprise that companies are increasingly viewing the process of upskilling as a core learning & development need.
In addition to training sessions at the workplace, though, senior leaders in recruitment circles also affirm the importance of certifications. They observe some common patterns during the hiring cycle. Candidates with technical certification seem to demonstrate better performance graphs, target realization, and higher productivity. They come across as more motivated, more confident of adding long-term value to the organization, and geared to take on leadership roles. That’s why they stand out in the crowd as potentially better recruits than uncertified individuals. In the long run, the cost of hiring such individuals is recovered several times through the added value they bring to the enterprise. Certified individuals make for project-ready teams that leverage technologies better and give their organizations a competitive edge over peers. And when your organization contributes to employee certification, you immediately raise their loyalty quotient since they appreciate this investment in their career paths.
Having the intent to invest in your employees’ learning journey is a great start. Next, you must address the question of how to go about doing so. In this era of speed and agility, training your workforce in bits and pieces isn’t an option. If you want a team operationally geared to take on future-ready roles, preparing them for that challenging certification is a need TODAY.
But does your HR department have that kind of bandwidth? If they are already conducting managerial, leadership, and general soft-skills training sessions, do they have any more time and resources left for customizing training programs? Chances are, they are already stretching themselves thin monitoring the training and talent needs of the whole organization. Upskilling also generally involves some dedicated infrastructure in the form of an LMS system, which can be substantially expensive. You would also require a coach or trainer to deliver customized content tailored to your needs. Delivery teams sometimes have to don dual hats of on-the-job-trainers as well as individual performers. It might be even more challenging for such professionals to devote energy to dedicated training sessions.
That is why progressive organizations are adopting a Learning-as-a Service model. Specialized providers with experience in creating custom content can design training modules tailored to meet specific requirements. Since technology companies like yours can particularly benefit from training firms like these, do choose your partner wisely.
