It’s crucial for your company to invest in training that will have a lasting and meaningful impact on your organization. You may think that means focusing on new cutting-edge skills employees will use in the future, but research shows that strengthening the core skills workers need right away has a much bigger payoff.
If your first inclination is to hire and train with an eye toward cutting-edge skills that your company might have to deploy in the future, you’re not alone. In 2023 the World Economic Forum reported that 44% of workers’ skills would need to be updated within the next five years and that 60% of employees would require retraining before 2027. Despite those needs, the average training investment for large companies fell from $19.2 million in 2022 to $16.
With less time and money available, it’s crucial that your company invest in skills that will have a lasting and meaningful impact on your organization.
