Approximately 80,000 employees have gained new skills as a result of this.
Recently, we reported to you about the company’s tactics of retaining talent and to fight the rising attrition rate. Instead of having to change jobs, career progression pathways to help employees grow within the company have been devised by Bengaluru-based Infosys.
Executive VP and HR head, Infosys said that the firm has invested in skill building for the future in digital industry 4.0, 5G, open-source, cloud, edge computing, and so on. The internal learning platform Lex offers learning in any of 36 skills.
He added that in the hybrid work structure, where few shall work from office, few shall work partially remote to those who shall work fully remote.
Infosys also used the lockdown to enhance its employees’ digital skills through virtual training. With this thought, the IT giant has seen an increase in the number of learners on its learning app Lex. This number has been recorded to be 22,000 per day from 13,000 initially.
