With generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and other technological advancements coming into the picture, it’s highly important for employers to help workers develop new skills, according to one expert.
Nearly half of C-suite leaders (48 per cent) stress the need for continuous reskilling among their employees, according to a previous report from Accenture.
“We’re all hearing a lot about GenAI. To be a successful adopter of any new technology – but especially Gen AI – we’re seeing leaders needing to embrace the opportunity to really reinvent work and reshape their workforces, and skilling is really at the heart of that,” says Janet Krstevski, managing director for talent & organization, Canada practice, Accenture, in talking with Canadian HR Reporter.
