Employers missing out on talent due to limited skills visibility

“Organisations need a clear view not just of employees’ existing skills but also of their foundational knowledge, which is becoming increasingly important in the age of AI,” Tsingos said.

“Those that build that clarity gain speed, make smarter decisions, and unlock the full value of their workforce.”

Addressing the skills visibility gap  

To address the limited visibility on the workforce’s skills, the report outlined practical solutions that employers can take.

These solutions include regular skills assessments (47%), as well as improved manager training to better identify and track capabilities.
