As jobs change and skills needs evolve, this research examines how organizations can strengthen learning and development to build workforce readiness, support employee engagement, and improve business performance.
Inside the Skills (R)evolution Report:
- Data from 1,800+ L&D professionals and 6,650 global workers
- Key L&D strategies shaping workforce readiness
- Insights on how learning connects to engagement, culture, and business outcomes
- Practical steps to align learning with evolving skills needs
What the Data Reveals
| 1. Skills needs are evolving, but most L&D strategies remain focused on the near term. | 2. Learning and development is linked to stronger employee engagement and adaptability. |
| 3. Stronger L&D approaches are connected to better workforce readiness. | 4. Impactful L&D is associated with stronger business performance and workplace culture. |
As roles, tools, and business priorities continue to change, HR and L&D leaders need strategies that keep the skills picture current, connect learning to business priorities, and help employees apply and retain the skills their organizations need.
Together, these findings point to a broader workforce imperative. Organizations that treat L&D as a strategic system for building workforce capability are better positioned to strengthen employee readiness, improve workplace outcomes, and prepare for tomorrow’s jobs.
