\n2021 –\u00a0<\/b>Despite more than half of employers (52%) reporting
\ninsufficient employees with the right skill sets to achieve current business
\ngoals, not enough is being done to upskill or reskill employees. Only one third
\nof employees (32%) agree or strongly agree that their company provide them with
\nthe right training opportunities to enhance work performance, and almost half
\n(47%) are not confident that their current job will be able to support them in
\ntheir career growth.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/release-manager.media-outreach.com\/i\/118111\/PRESS-RELEASE-Jobandskills-repor.jpg\")

\nfrom NTUC LearningHub’s (NTUC LHUB) The New Normal of Sector Skills report. The
\nreport gathered perspectives of 367 business leaders (senior managers or
\ndirectors and above) and 567 full-time employees working in Singapore with the
\naim to assess the adequacy of training and employment opportunities for
\nemployees across six major industry clusters.<\/p>\n
\ntraining opportunities to enhance work performance, only one in four employees
\n(27%) agree that their potential is maximised at their workplace, and a large
\nmajority of employees (71%) wish that their company provided more support to
\nhelp with the upgrading of skills.<\/p>\n
\nemployees the ‘lack of initiative from a company’ is one of the top reasons that they do not upskill (34%). The other
\nreasons include lack of time for training (55%), unsure of the skills to
\nupgrade in (42%), unsure
\nof the types of training resources (36%), as well as not knowing where
\nto begin (33%).<\/p>\n
\nmajority of employers (84%) indicate that it was necessary for the employees to
\nlearn new skills due to changes brought about by COVID-19 to the business, only
\n65% say they have been training their employees since the pandemic hit.<\/p>\n
\nNTUC LHUB’s Chairman, Eugene Wong says, “The pandemic has made the upskilling
\nimperative more pressing hence providing the right training opportunities for
\nemployees would strengthen companies’ competitiveness in the face of future
\ndisruptions. Companies must transform through new business models but in order
\nto make strides, their employees must be equipped with the relevant skill sets
\nto deliver their new roles and responsibilities. Employers must act now to
\nelevate their workforce competencies so that they will be well-poised to
\npersevere and prosper in the New Normal.”<\/p>\n
\nInstitute Of Business Excellence And Healthcare Academy, Jenaline Low adds, “For
\nthose who are looking to jumpstart the upskilling of their workforce, it is key
\nto invest in learning and development capabilities to assess and align the
\nworkforce skills requirement to the organisation’s strategic business goals. Using a Design Thinking
\napproach to identify skills gaps will help decision-makers succinctly identify
\nareas for skills upgrading and discover employees’ strengths to optimise their
\nfull potential. To add, we urge companies to leverage training support and
\nsubsidies available to them such as the Enhanced Training Support Package and Enhanced
\nAbsentee Payroll, which are helpful to defray the training investment cost with
\ncourse fee and absentee
\npayroll subsidies.”<\/p>\n
