Needless to say, L&D has to address these variations with the right kind of digital learning programmes Personalised and curated digital learning can help create time-efficient, relevant and targeted corporate training programmes. In an evolving business landscape, learning and development (L&D) and human resources (HR) teams are continually exploring newer approaches to manage workforce development and help businesses stay ahead of competition. Given the many changes in recent times, the need to improve L&D is higher than ever today. While new digital technologies are making some current skills redundant and pushing the need for rapid reskilling, the nature of workforce demographics has also become an important consideration.

According to the Global Skills Gap Report, 92 per cent employees in India believe that there is a skills gap in the country and around two-thirds (76 per cent) feel they have been personally by it.

Soft Skills: Need for communication skills in an increasingly digital work environment.

According to the recent Udemy Global Skills Gap Report, 63 per cent respondents in India said that their employers value soft skills in addition to technical and digital skills. As work environments become more complex thanks to digitalisation, it’s imperative for the workforce to develop soft skills that drive individual and organisational success. Of these, communication has emerged as one of the most important and necessary soft skills. Many organisations emerged from 2020 with an increased readiness for digital transformation. However, through this time, soft skills too emerged as must-haves for everyone —from employees and managers to business leaders and customers. In fact, working in the digital environment has made the need for soft skills, especially those like communication, even more important.
