In today’s workplace, effective job performance often hinges on interpersonal dynamics — whether you’re collaborating within teams or engaging with customers. As Josh Bersin states, “power skills are the hard skills of the future.” Companies that invest in and prioritize developing these skills in their workforce will lead in the market — those that don’t will fall behind.
Recent research from McKinsey reveals why top organizations double down on these skills, showcasing that companies that invest in power skills training see a 22% increase in profitability and 37% less employee attrition.
To date, it has been extremely challenging to provide opportunities for employees to upskill in these areas in an ongoing, scalable, and effective way. Different employee populations have unique needs, and L&D teams struggle to provide high-quality, engaging learning that can span the wide variety of pressing topics, coordinate large groups of learners, and create learning journeys that defy the one-and-done training that simply checks a box. Plus, limited budgets make it essential to balance quality with affordability.
So how can learning leaders facilitate continuous learning for these types of people skills? Well, the process of upskilling the way employees’ ability to navigate diverse human interactions calls for a critical ingredient: human interaction itself.
Asynchronous elearning is often a go-to when you need to quickly address your L&D needs with off-the-shelf content. But while learning alone, you can’t practice skills, collaborate with others, or engage fully in the learning experience. Live, collaborative learning mirrors real-world, interactive environments where these skills are applied. Power skills, such as communication, teamwork, adaptability, and emotional intelligence, are inherently human-centric and thrive in dynamic, interactive settings.
Smart organizations know that it’s imperative in today’s fast-evolving workplace to instill a culture of continuous learning and stay competitive in the market. They know they need to go a step further to meet both corporate goals and fulfill the demands of individual employees’ personal development plans.
