An Empirical Investigation of the Impacts of Reskill and Upskill Training on Employee Performance

Abstract

The intention of this study, is to figure out the manner in which employee performance in modern business environments is influenced by upskilling and reskilling training initiatives.  The intention of the research is to evaluate the efficacy of these training initiatives in enhancing employee skills and ascertain their impact on performance indicators for individuals and organizations. Combining quantitative and qualitative research approaches, a mixed-methods approach is employed. The quantitative phase involves surveying a diverse sample of employees from automobile industries to measure their engagement in upskill and reskill training, identify specific training programs, and assess their perceived impact on performance. Unstructured interviews with a subset of surveyed employees and their managers are conducted to uncover their experiences and perspectives on the effectiveness of upskill and reskill training and their impact on the daily performance of work. The findings will offer insightful information about the connection between upskilling and reskilling initiatives and employee performance, shedding light on their impact at both individual and organizational levels. The study aims to contribute to the development of evidence-based recommendations for organizations designing and implementing effective upskill and reskill training programs, aligning their human capital development strategies with the evolving demands of the 21st-century workforce.
