Amidst the buzz that automation and digitization
will replace jobs; it becomes imperative to ensure that your tech team is
updated with skills that future job requires
“Automation will take your job away”
”Robots will make humans redundant”
”Digitization will disrupt the world
of work”
It is not uncommon to hear some of these
concerns in today’s world. News of people losing their jobs due to automation
has become a key concern in the economy. According to one study, 4 out of
10 jobs today will be lost due to automation. The effects of this transition
are already being felt in the IT, ITeS and Security Services, where job losses
are expected to be around 1.75 lakh to 2 lakh jobs per year in the
next 3 years.

deal with is that they are unable to predict their own needs from a talent
standpoint. However, by understanding your own technology team and enabling
them with a few tools to succeed, you can not only identify skills that your
technology team needs, you can also take on the upcoming challenges with
confidence. Here are a few things you need to do:
1. Keep
an eye on what the government is doing
2. Look
at emerging platforms and operating systems
3. Learn
about emerging technologies
4. Look
for opportunities where demographics are changing
5. Long-term
thinking and career planning
Technology is disrupting multiple
sectors right from pharmaceuticals to robotics to artificial intelligence.

now considered important will change in the next five years from now. Though
these trends are unlikely to be in our control but diversifying our employees’
skills and motivate them to be avid learners which can help them to accelerate
their career trajectory. Where is your business headed? What are the kind of
skills that you need your teach team to have? What do you want to do next?
These are the kinds of questions you need to ask again and again, to make sure
you end up where you want to go.

6 ways
you can deliver an effective and engaging learning program
Here is a list of guidelines to implement an effective
learning program
Peter Drucker once pointed out that although, “we now accept the fact
that learning is a lifelong process of
keeping abreast of change…the most
pressing task is to teach people how to learn.” According to the Workplace
Learning Report, ‘engaging learners’ is one of the top challenges faced by a
learning & development professionals. The most common reason behind
disengagement in training programs by employees range from lack of time to not
being provided with an opportunity to not feeling the need.
Here are the six ways to create an effective and engaging learning
program:
1. Bite-sized learning: Employees often complain about the paucity
of time for completing training programs. One way to tackle this common problem
is by introducing bite-sized learning modules– which is a short course that can
be completed at a convenient time. This has a number of advantages including:
a.
Improves
psychological engagement
b.
Adapts
to modern day learning need
c.
Better
attention and memory
2. Tailor content to roles &
responsibilities
3. Pre & post assessment
4. Opportunities to interact
5. Update learning content
6. Incorporate Gamification:
Engagement and experience
of learning programs are the major drivers that ensure your learning program
will reap the desired benefits. Today’s learners are very different from the
learners in the past. Many a time urgent tasks or priorities seems to win out.
The learners’ needs are evolving at a very fast pace and to support their needs
the learning program needs to evolve to support their needs.
