You stand at the forefront of shaping the future workforce by aligning skills growth with business strategy\u200c \u2014 \u200ca crucial task in today\u2019s rapidly changing environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invited <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/davidperring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">David Perring<\/a>, chief insights officer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fosway.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fosway Group<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/yasarahmad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yasar Ahmad<\/a>, global vice president of people at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellofresh.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HelloFresh<\/a>, to join us for a webinar, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/fosway-skills-research-webinar\/\"><em>The Future of HR: Merging Skills Growth With Performance Excellence<\/em><\/a>, facilitated by Betterworks\u2019 head of growth in EMEA, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/amy-culverhouse-1726693b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amy Culverhouse<\/a>. David and Yasar shared how they see skills development transforming organizations and driving performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their insights offer a practical roadmap for HR leaders who are ready to evolve their approach to talent and performance management \u2014 to foster a culture where skills development is woven into daily work, empowering managers and employees alike to grow and adapt as they build toward the future of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pursue-a-skills-based-approach-to-reinvention\">Pursue a skills-based approach to reinvention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s business environment is less predictable and more volatile than ever before. The rapid rise of technologies like AI, evolving consumer expectations, and new ways of working, such as remote and hybrid models, put more and more pressure on businesses to continuously adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOrganizations increasingly need to reinvent themselves to survive and thrive in the modern environment,\u201d David said. To navigate the constant reinvention your business faces today, you need to prioritize skill development. Investing in skills prepares your employees to drive innovation and growth in an ever-shifting landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For HR leaders, this means starting with clear milestones and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/magazine\/talent-mapping\/\">mapping out the skills<\/a> your organization currently has and those you\u2019ll need. At the outset, this process can seem overwhelming. \u201cYou have to present it as milestones,\u201d Yasar said. \u201cWhat is my end goal? Walk backward and understand what the milestones are.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than overloading your teams with a massive overhaul, break the process into manageable steps, identifying gaps in talent and aligning job families with your long-term goals. \u201cReinvention isn\u2019t a one-time effort,\u201d Yasar said. \u201cIt\u2019s a constant effort \u2014 and skills are the building blocks of reinvention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Webinar-Recap-Can-You-Future-Proof-Your-Workforce-Internal-1-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-108515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Webinar-Recap-Can-You-Future-Proof-Your-Workforce-Internal-1-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Webinar-Recap-Can-You-Future-Proof-Your-Workforce-Internal-1-980x555.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Webinar-Recap-Can-You-Future-Proof-Your-Workforce-Internal-1-480x272.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-empower-managers-to-take-the-lead-in-skills-development\">Empower managers to take the lead in skills development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Managers play a critical role in fostering a skills-based culture, yet many organizations still rely too heavily on employees to drive their own learning \u2014 something that Yasar believes simply isn\u2019t working. \u201cEmployee-led learning, for me, is a bit lazy,\u201d Yasar said. \u201cAnd so how do you get managers to help that, and how do you make them architects of skills-building?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of pressuring employees to identify where and how they need to grow, give managers the tools and time they need to take responsibility for their team\u2019s growth. Regular performance check-ins between managers and employees provide the perfect opportunity to open up conversations about skills. \u201cPut the onus on managers to energize their people and excite them about the future and the skills they need to develop,\u201d David said, \u201cas part of that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/magazine\/building-skills-into-your-performance-management-program\/\">performance conversation<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At HelloFresh, Yasar and his team have implemented a manager-led model that emphasizes structured learning through internal \u201cacademies.\u201d This approach allows managers to guide employees in developing skills aligned with future business goals. Consider developing similar frameworks within your organization where managers act as architects of learning, ensuring the workforce is prepared for both current and future challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-future-proof-your-organization-with-skills-data\">Future-proof your organization with skills data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To future-proof your organization, it\u2019s crucial to align skills development with both immediate and long-term business goals. Yasar emphasizes the role of managers in this process: \u201cWe want to empower the manager to build the skills for tomorrow, but they also need to have a very invested interest in the growth of the company,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Webinar-Recap-Can-You-Future-Proof-Your-Workforce-Internal-2-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-108517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Webinar-Recap-Can-You-Future-Proof-Your-Workforce-Internal-2-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Webinar-Recap-Can-You-Future-Proof-Your-Workforce-Internal-2-980x555.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Webinar-Recap-Can-You-Future-Proof-Your-Workforce-Internal-2-480x272.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This means managers can\u2019t just focus on their immediate tasks. \u201cJust as a manager, you should understand the business consequences of our strategy so that you can then plan for that, not just [stay] in your little bubble,\u201d Yasar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This alignment between skills and strategy benefits not only the organization but also individual employees. \u201cIt\u2019s almost future-proofing the individual as much as it is future-proofing the organization,\u201d David said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s dynamic environment, building skills is about more than just career progression \u2014 it\u2019s about staying relevant and effective. \u201cWe always talk about employability more than career paths,\u201d David said, \u201cbecause in this dynamic environment, it\u2019s hard to guarantee a career path \u2014 but you can help people build their employability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By focusing on skills data, you create a win-win: a workforce that\u2019s ready for whatever the future brings and employees who are adaptable and resilient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more?
