Anticipating the impact of change and enhancing employee employability: Reskilling and Upskilling
In the current climate of rapid changes in the job market, an employee’s employability, (i.e., their ability to find and keep a job, as well as to develop professionally within the company) is a key issue
That’s why the concepts of reskilling and upskilling are so highly valued by companies, to maintain their competitiveness and prepare employees for future challenges.
Working alongside corporate HR teams, Alixio Mobilité develops operational solutions to anticipate tomorrow’s employment models and enhance employees’ skills and know-how.
Implementing GPEC (job and skills forecasting) or GEPP (jobs and professional careers management) approaches enables companies to anticipate their skills needs in order to maintain and develop their performance.
