If you’re reading this report, it’s likely you know that upskilling is a pivotal tool in your organisation's success roadmap—it’s no longer up for debate. However, what that upskilling looks like can vary, and your approach can vastly affect your results. Creating modern (more powerful, more efficient and more effective) upskilling opportunities is important for countless reasons. But in our current climate of talent mobility and (gasp!) The Great Resignation, the most compelling reason to upskill is reducing attrition.
You improve your retention rate by improving employee satisfaction. This improves productivity and, by extension, the success and productivity of your software development teams. That’s so much improvement—all driven by modern upskilling.
Upskilling helps your employees achieve their career goals, creates M-shaped developers (developers with working knowledge across several areas and deep knowledge in others) and reduces dangerous skills gaps in your organisation. Organisational success starts with having a knowledgeable talent base and providing them with the tools they need to learn and grow.
