What Is Upskilling And

Reskilling? The Complete Guide

The business world today is moving at a fast pace. New technologies are constantly emerging, changing the way we work and interact with customers. To stay competitive, companies need to innovate not only in their products or services but also in developing their human resources. Upskilling and reskilling are two key strategies that can help companies achieve this goal.

What Is Upskilling and Reskilling?

  • Upskilling: The process of improving the skills of existing employees to improve their performance in their current role or prepare them for a more senior role. For example, a programmer taking a course in a new programming language or a manager learning about transformational leadership.
  • Reskilling: The process of teaching employees new skills that enable them to move into different roles or adopt new technologies. For example, a graphic designer learning data science or an accountant switching to financial consulting.

Why Are Upskilling and Reskilling Important for Business?

  • Increased Productivity: A study by McKinsey shows that companies that invest in employee skill development can increase productivity by up to 20%. (1)
  • Fostering Innovation: Employees who continue to learn are more open to new ideas and are able to contribute to company innovation. This can result in new products or services that can win the competition.
  • Increasing Employee Retention: Employees who feel supported to grow and develop tend to be more loyal to the company.
  • Preparing the Company for the Future: With an adaptive and skilled workforce, companies are better prepared to face market changes and technological disruption.
