Upskilling Disconnect: Upskilling Is A Priority, So Why Is It Still So Hard To Start?
Briefly

Upskilling has emerged as the foremost priority for L&D teams, but many are grappling with its execution. While 44% of organizations report offering upskilling from the beginning, fewer than 10% adapt these programs to meet evolving business needs. This misalignment can hinder learning programs, which should closely reflect business objectives. Barriers include limited resources and challenges in identifying effective tools. A successful upskilling initiative requires clear ownership and prioritization, with mentorship cited as a powerful yet underutilized method for talent retention and cultural development.
