Embracing a focus on skills can enhance your company’s adaptability to market changes and innovation. Yet, many employers struggle to balance technical skills vs. soft skills as they develop their teams and recruit new hires.

The New Rules of Talent Development: Building Skills, Connection, and Growth That Last April 19th, 2025 – By Rebecca Taylor, CCO and Co-founder of SkillCycle
As companies grow and develop, there is an increasing need to build skills to navigate new business challenges. Creating a skills inventory should be the first step for organizations to gain clarity on their current positioning and needs.
While a skilled workforce has always held value, how we work is shifting so quickly that the ability to learn new things stands apart as a way to prepare for the future. This adaptability, or learning agility, allows people to use what they have learned from past experiences to succeed in new situations.
Are your employees genuinely aligned with your company’s goals or unknowingly pulling in different directions? When you connect employee performance goals to your organization’s strategic vision, you help bolster engagement and overall performance.
Coaching helps employees tackle challenges, progress toward goals, and offer their highest contributions at work. It can bridge the gap between where your employees are today and where they want to go — in their careers, within your company, and even personally.
Managing people is never easy. It’s something we must work on every day with ourselves and others. We all want to protect our teams and achieve fruitful outcomes for each other to make personal and company goals happen. There are a lot of ways to stay true to our people in the process of leading, coaching and managing them and there is one way that you can fulfill your promise to them every day.
