7 in 10 employees would like to update their skills more often

While level of satisfaction when it comes to training opportunities is high, that has dropped since 2020, finds report

Employees are feeling the need to update their skills amid the changing landscape of work, according to a recent report.

Overall, 71% of workers would like to update their skills more often, and 80% believe employers should invest more to provide upskilling and reskilling opportunities for workers, reports TalentLMS.

That is because 37% of workers are concerned that their skills may be obsolete, and 33% want upgraded skills to meet job requirements or qualifications.

“Forward-thinking employers” are taking steps to address these worker needs, says Meghan M. Biro, founder and CEO at TalentCulture.

“Change is a fact of business life. Yet these days, everything seems to be moving faster than ever. Experts now say the typical skill becomes obsolete in five years or less. Meanwhile, innovation keeps disrupting the status quo. But if your organization can’t predict which skills will matter down the road, how can you prepare?
