Is upskilling the key to retaining IT talent in a fast-changing industry?
India TodayWhere technologies evolve faster than the blink of an eye, retaining talent has emerged as a formidable challenge. “Continuous learning programs not only address skill gaps but also demonstrate a company’s commitment to its employees’ growth,” says Pakzad Nussirabad, an HR leader at a multinational IT firm. “Companies that fail to provide these opportunities risk losing their top talent to competitors who will.” ROLE OF LEADERSHIP IN FOSTERING LEARNING Leadership plays a critical role in fostering a culture of continuous learning. When leaders actively promote and participate in upskilling, it sends a powerful message to employees.” AceNgage’s data supports this assertion, showing that 68 percent of employees are more engaged in organisations where leaders actively advocate for learning programs. Krish Hanumanthu encapsulates it succinctly: “Upskilling is not just a retention strategy; it’s an investment in the future of the organisation.” With the stakes higher than ever, continuous learning might just be the key to unlocking long-term success in the IT sector.
