Employers increasingly face difficulties in attracting and retaining the pool of talent needed to execute their strategy – especially when it comes to digital roles.

In this video, Sagar Goel discusses topics such as the required mindset shift from “cost” to “investment”, new ways of designing skilling programs for increased business impact, and the importance of empowering employees to learn.
