Course Description
In this course, you will learn about two approaches to preparing employees for transitioning to remote work: upskilling and reskilling employees. You’ll learn about the benefits and challenges of remote-first work and how companies offer remote training options for upskilling and reskilling. This course also examines how to develop an upskilling and reskilling strategy and create a skilling program to equip your employees with the ability to navigate new technologies and roles.
Remote work has become increasingly popular for employees due to the ease, convenience, and flexibility of working from home. It also has many benefits to employers, primarily in cost savings, reduced overhead, and the potential to increase productivity. Organizations also have access to a much more robust talent pool, which can mean recruiting and hiring better-qualified candidates. Remote-first work is an organizational strategy that has become common among businesses. Upskilling and reskilling are two of the most important facets that impact employers and employees as they transition to a remote environment. Whether you’re upskilling or reskilling, this course will help you consider the costs to the employee and the company and gain approval from senior leadership and stakeholders.
