In this time of rapid adoption of automation and workflow technologies, the concept of workforce repurposing is pivotal. Workforce repurposing is the strategic reallocation of human resources to roles that are more valuable in an automated environment.
REPURPOSING YOUR WORKFORCE FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY
It’s about recognizing and harnessing the unique strengths, creativity, and problem-solving abilities of the human workforce. It involves transforming job roles where the collective workforce can add significant value. Instead of eliminating jobs, automation often leads to job evolution.
ADAPTING TO AUTOMATION AND WORKFLOW TECHNOLOGIES
This repurposing will most likely involve two distinct changes in the workforce:
- Reskilling: Involves training for an entirely new set of skills to adapt to different roles within the company due to technological advances, promoting employee growth and retention.
- Upskilling Enhances existing skills for additional responsibilities and higher-level roles, creating a continuous learning strategy and fostering industry-leading talent.
