A Reskilling/Upskilling Change Management Case StudyEffective Change Management Demands Multiple Levers, Including LearningWe’ve all read the headlines. The future of work is changing. The skills that will be critical in the future are probably not the skills that have brought us this far. In fact, we know that the half-life of skills is anywhere from two to five and a half years. Organizations need a continuous learning culture to ensure that their talent remains viable and the company remains competitive. Through rigorous external and internal benchmarking, Nationwide identified the key skills that would enable it to execute on its bold strategy as it approached its centennial. Visionary leadership led to a $160 million board-sponsored investment in the Future of Work. One hundred percent of its associates would be upskilled over a five year period, and 25 percent of associates who were in roles at risk from automation would be reskilled into roles that would be in demand in the future. The expectation was that the initiative would pay for itself through improved retention and avoiding separation costs from associate reductions in force. What brought it all to life? A robust change management strategy that pulled numerous levers, including learning. In this session, hear how these levers work together to drive organizational behaviors and success.
