Continuous learning, upskilling and reskilling.

The new White Paper by Gi Group outlines the benefits professional training can bring to individuals and companies in today’s challenging labour market.

Over the last years, the European Union and developed markets in general have experienced a constant increase in job vacancies, which more recently have been exacerbated by labour shortages. According to the latest White Paper by Gi Group, continuous learning, upskilling and reskilling can play a crucial role in tackling such issues, especially in blue-collar jobs.

Moreover, effective skilling strategies represent an extraordinary opportunity for the people themselves to enhance their employability and make better career choices. In addition, data show that higher skills tend to be correlated with better salaries and economic conditions. Last but not least, gaining more skills improves personal satisfaction.

Nowadays, several industries are being disrupted by digital innovation and socioeconomic instability affecting their supply and demand dynamics. By investing in continuous upskilling and leveraging the reliability and experience of their workforce, organisations can better respond to new operational needs and become more competitive. Tailor-made training & development paths are powerful tools that companies can use to counteract severe candidate shortage, increase retention and help realign job supply and demand, thus creating a more inclusive environment that ensures employability and sustainable working conditions.

This is even more relevant when we consider that not only 50% of the employees will need reskilling by 2025, but – as data show – 26% of European companies find it very difficult to hire candidates with the skills they are looking for, with shortages being particularly widespread in manual jobs.

Featuring in-depth analyses and remarkable insights, Gi Group’s study outlines the numerous benefits that training can bring to both employees and employers. Not only: it also explains how its 6-step Professional Training solution – an actual journey for the temporary workers, first time job seekers, the unemployed, candidates and staff-leasing workers along their professional path – can effectively create added value for both people and companies as well as support the creation of the culture of “sustainable work”.

International mobility in the EU, a new White Paper by Gi Group.

The new paper by Gi Group outlines how international mobility can be an upskilling solution for candidates and an effective response to labour shortage.

With the rising candidate and skill shortages in today’s European labour market, many companies are struggling to find workforce within their countries and regions.

Indeed, data shows that vacancies are at their highest level for over a decade and in some cases even exceed pre-pandemic figures (source: WEC Global Labour Shortage Statistical Briefing). More in detail, according to the World Employment Confederation Report on Eurostat Data, since January 2020 the labour shortage has increased by 40%-60% in Finland, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK and 40% in Austria, while Portugal has registered peaks of +20%-40% and Germany and Poland of +20% in the period.

If fostered by accurate, active policies at a national level, International Mobility can surely become a continuous upskilling engine, allowing people to become truly employable and to fulfill sustainable work and life conditions, and ultimately generate value in society

Barbara Bruno, Global Temp & Perm Practice Senior Director

In such a context, international mobility can be a win-win for both businesses and candidates.

On the one hand, sourcing workforce from other countries helps companies successfully find the people and skills they need in the short term, and supports their competitiveness and stability in the long term.

On the other hand, international mobility can represent a powerful, continuous upskilling engine, allowing people to fullfil sustainable work and life conditions.

Gi Group’s White Paper delves into the topic of international mobility in the European Union, underlying the sizable opportunities it offers companies and workers. It also highlights the countries and industries where it is more relevant and the most required job profiles and, finally, it explains how Gi Group works alongside clients and candidates by managing a wide range of tasks concerning international mobility and workers’ integration, thus leading to better performance and productivity for companies.

Wyser’s recommended skill set for today’s leaders.

Wyser's White Paper "Effective leadership in action: an analysis" takes an indepth look at the top-level managerial qualities and skills.

In 2020 our world changed more or less overnight, and in a matter of days many people, countries, governments and systems were literally thrust into a state somewhere between total paralysis and chaos.

For many businesses it was a sink or swim situation, and for those that succeeded in swimming there can be no doubt that it was due to CEO and senior management leadership qualities and capabilities, which were given virtually free rein in the most difficult of circumstances.

During that period a study conducted showed that 61% of those interviewed defined the most trusted institutions at the time to be businesses and looked to them to lead on a range of vexing and complex issues. In that same time frame, expectations from business leaders were exceptionally high. Proof that superior leadership skills were paramount in moving businesses, people, societies and countries into a different kind of economy.

All told, many of these companies succeeded in bringing their teams together as one, to step up to the plate in trying conditions, and succeeded.
