Episode 30 - What does upskilling mean? (Business English)

In episode 30, we’re talking about upskilling - teaching employees new, sometimes advanced, skills in order to fill the skills gap. But why should companies invest in upskilling their employees? In addition to the obvious benefits of keeping up with innovation and staying ahead of your competition, upskilling existing employees is cheaper than hiring new people. It also boosts retention and engagement. Empowering your employees to choose what they want to learn and how they want to grow will help them feel more in charge of their career progression. Some new words we’re explaining in this episode include: team morale, to be savvy, to be ahead of the curve and well-rounded.
