Mitä Upskilling on? | HR--glossaario | BambooHR
Developing employees' existing skills to meet evolving role and business needs.
Upskilling is the process of building on employees' existing capabilities so they can perform their current roles better or take on more advanced work. It differs from reskilling, which retrains people for entirely different roles.
As technology and ways of working change quickly, upskilling keeps the workforce current and reduces reliance on external hiring for emerging skills. It is a cornerstone of workforce planning and a strong signal of investment in people.
Effective upskilling starts from a clear view of the skills the organisation will need, then targets development where the gap between current and future capability is greatest. Linking it to career pathways makes it motivating as well as strategic.
