Companies around the world concluded after the Covid-19 pandemic that industrial, technological, communicational and even social changes and transformations require new corporate challenges that not only depend on a change in the business model or development strategiesbut also, will require the transformation of human talent so that it adapts to the challenges of the future.
According to the study ‘Jobs lost, jobs gained: workforce transitions in a time or automation’ prepared by McKinsey Global Institute, between 35 and 735 million workersthat is, between 3 and 14% of the global labor force, they will have to occupy a new category in their jobs by 2030 due to automation, artificial intelligence or digitization. For this reason, it is essential that companies begin to add the concepts of: ‘reskilling’ and ‘upskilling’ as an organizational strategy.
Sthepanie Carvajalino, Co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of The Biz Nation, explains that while the ‘upskilling’ seeks to teach a worker new skills to optimize their performance, the ‘reskilling‘ aims to train an employee to adapt to a new position in the company.
“These skills are an imminent need for companies today, since we are in an environment of constant transformation and in which resources must be used to the maximum,” said Carvajalino, who adds that it is not just about acquiring ‘hard skills’ or technical skills, “but to take into account those ‘soft skills’ or essential skills that the WEF pointed out as the most demanded by businessmen in 2025, such as: analytical thinking and innovation; leadership and social influence; emotional intelligence or resilience, among other things”.
Thinking about the relevance that this topic has acquired in recent years, The Biz Nation directors explain the basis of its innovative teaching methodology that has helped several companies in Colombia to promote these skills in their collaborators and that is based on five fundamental pillars:
- Identify the type of brain of people: The first thing to do is make a analysis within the company to understand the natural strengths and the learning style of collaborators, Taking into account that all people learn from different shapes.
- Neuro Linguistic Programming: TTaking into account the type of dominant brain in each person, the second component of the methodology is Search Programr the brain through language to generate more effective results in terms of knowledge to be acquired in each program.
- the storytelling: ANDIt is the third component, since it is an excellent neuroscience strategy to generate recall and for people to have a greater capacity to capture the content.
- Technology: digital tools they are used as a vehicle to be able to connect with many more people and allow continuous learning to be carried out.
- Aexperiential learning: All the programs seek leadsr projects and learning components through of the experiences.
“The biggest problem with most online platforms is that out of 100 people who start a show, only four finish. However, through the methodology we use, we have been able to verify through the ‘complete rate’ index, that is, our standard of completion of the programs carried out by companies is above 80%, in addition, they manage to increase the rates of productivity, effectiveness and retention of talent”, said the co-founder of Biz Nation.
