Workforce Readiness
What is Workforce Readiness?
Workforce Readiness, as defined by SHRM, is the critical process of equipping current and future employees with the necessary skills, competencies, and behaviors to excel in the ever-evolving workplace. By focusing on preparedness, up-skilling/re-skilling, retaining, accommodating, and transitioning, organizations play a vital role in fostering awareness, taking action, and advocating for a workforce that is primed for success.
