The Great Upskill

What is The Great Upskill?

The Great Upskill is a movement of organisations in the Asia-Pacific region who are dedicated to walking the walk on learning and upskilling for their team members.

By participating in The Great Upskill, employees from HubSpot, Google, Aircall, Seismic, RISE by Digital BCG Academy, MessageMedia, Meltwater and EngageRocket will have a day dedicated to their own learning and upskilling during the week of May 9th to 13th. 

Why are these organisations joining The Great Upskill?

In the rapidly changing professional world, dedicated time for continued education is essential both for employees and for businesses. While it's easy to agree that learning and upskilling are important, findings from HubSpot research may surprise you:

• The majority of Australian and Singaporean workers agree that upskilling is the first item to get bumped to the bottom of the to-do list when work comes in. Even though we know this is critical to help us perform better in our roles and grow personally and professionally.
• Employees across both countries wish their employers placed higher importance on job-related learning and upskilling, and
• Learning and development opportunities are at the top of the priority list for employees and, in many cases, are of higher importance to employees than salary!

What are participating organisations doing during The Great Upskill?

For HubSpot's Great Upskill, we’ll be facilitating a series of themed workshops, along with surfacing a wide range of learning options for our team to access and commit to - including tapping into key skills we know our employees want to deepen.

Every organisation involved can run the day as they see fit - from self-paced learning, to live sessions with guest speakers - and program their content to meet their business and employee needs - from prescribed learning, to opening up the scope for employees or managers to choose their focus areas.
