About 86 per cent of office workers around the world wish their employer
offered opportunities to acquire new skills, said a survey on Monday.
Nearly
83 per cent respondents said they wish their employer gave them more
opportunities to enhance their current skills, said the survey by
US-based enterprise robotic process automation (RPA) software company
UiPath.
The desire for upskilling and reskilling opportunities
stems from fear of job loss and decreased productivity due to outdated
skills, the results showed.
The survey of 4,500 office workers
across India, Germany, the US, the UK, France and Singapore, conducted
in February and March this year, uncovered that over 90 per cent of
office workers believe their employers should be more willing to invest
in digital and technology skills training for their employees.
"Now
more than ever, digital skillsets are necessary. Employers need to
provide their employees with new training initiatives so they can best
leverage technology like automation so they're more productive and
satisfied in their careers," Tom Clancy, Senior Vice President, UiPath
Learning, said in a statement.
"Employers should offer digital
training as part of career development initiatives as it is proven to
enhance retention and boost business productivity."
A full third
of office workers globally fear their current roles will advance past
their current skills, and 25 per cent worry about losing their job due
to automation, said the survey.
