The New Mandate: Keep Learning

August 15, 2019 | MIT Sloan Management Review | Workplace, Teams, & Culture

It’s no longer enough for managers and their reports to have a list of skills on their resumés —those hard-won skill sets will be obsolete in a few short years. If companies don’t act quickly to help their employees obtain and upgrade their skills, they risk running short of people with the key skills needed to navigate the continually evolving business environment. This collection of articles from MIT Sloan Management Review explores different ways companies can promote learning, re-skilling, and upskilling in their workforce

Articles included with this collection:
