When your talent wins, you win. Simple idea, but how do you put it into practice to help your workforce grow and stay with you? 

In today’s dynamic workforce, professionals often find themselves navigating a landscape filled with rapid technological advancements, evolving job requirements, and shifting organizational expectations. As a result, employees may encounter skill gaps, confusion over professional growth opportunities, and challenges to team cohesion. 

You can see these challenges accelerating in recent studies. A LinkedIn report highlights that since 2015, the skill sets required for various roles have changed by approximately 25%, with projections indicating a potential shift of at least 65% by 2030. Research skills are on the rise, the World Economic Forum finds that six of the top 10 most important skills for 2025-2030 are human-centric competencies, including creative thinking, motivation, self-awareness, and lifelong learning. 

McKinsey’s report, “Beyond Hiring”, highlights the need to address skill gaps. Per this research, 87% of companies are either experiencing issues from skill gaps or expect to within the next 3-5 years. The McKinsey report also highlights the importance of human-centric competencies, with critical thinking, decision-making, leadership, and managing others highlighted as the two most prominent skill gaps. 

These challenges and opportunities influenced the development of Tandym Coach, a comprehensive coaching platform integrated within our Client Portal.
