Especially in the world of startups and small businesses.\n\nBut just because we\u2019re fast learners and excellent Googlers (especially when equipped with that magical second screen), it doesn\u2019t mean that we shouldn\u2019t block time out to really take the time to learn something new.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/how-to-upskill-your-workforce-for-the-next-decade\/\">Learning something new has been proven to be hugely beneficial<\/a> when it comes to employee retention, increased productivity and more.\n\nEqually important is the ability to unlearn something \u2013\u00a0which you may argue is even harder, especially when it comes to unlearning familiar processes you\u2019ve been implementing for years.\n\nUnwrap our best tips when it comes to digital literacy skills you should know, so that we can start nerding out together.\n<h2 id=\"what-is-digital-literacy-in-the-workplace\">What is digital literacy in the workplace?<\/h2>\nDigital literacy refers to the ability to use technology confidently. Over the last few years, technology around us has developed increasingly changing the digital fluency landscape of the workforce.\n\nTechnology has empowered us to create stronger customer relationship management, build super useful HR software tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/\">91±¬ΑΟ<\/a> to manage HR, people, payroll and productivity all in one place (see what we did there, smooth eh?).\n\nAccording to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/publications\/the-future-of-jobs-report-2020\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">World Economic Forum\u2019s Future of Jobs Report<\/a>, as the adoption of technology increases, 50% of all employees will need reskilling by 2025. This might be unsurprising, considering how digital etiquette has changed over the last few years. Interesting, eh? If that caught your attention <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/solutions\/recruitment-software\/\">you would surely also be interested in our webinar on this, too<\/a>.\n\nHowever, the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/digitally-upskilling-teams-guide\/\">digital skills gap is widening<\/a>. Digital literacy skills in the workplace vary from industry, country of residence and more.\n<h2 id=\"why-is-it-important-to-develop-digital-literacy-in-the-workplace\">Why is it important to develop digital literacy in the workplace?<\/h2>\nKeeping up with the range of new skills needed in order to work has become the core of any job role we take on. Needless to say \u2013 if we don\u2019t keep developing digital literacy, the digital divide will become wider and some people will fall behind.\n\nThough you might be tempted to think that age is a huge factor when it comes to digital literacy \u2013 take this with a pinch of salt. After all, this author\u2019s mum got her millennial daughter on TikTok.\n\nWe need only to look at the Covid-19 pandemic to see just how important technology has become to us in our everyday work lives and personal lives too. It has become the backbone of information literacy, communication for remote teams, daily tasks and so much more.\n\nIn fact, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rand.org\/pubs\/research_reports\/RRA1533-1.html#:~:text=The%20digital%20skills%20gap%20that,opportunities%20to%20develop%20digital%20skills.\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rand\u2019s research report on The Global Digital Skills Gap<\/a>, \u201cthe digitalisation and application of emerging technologies have accelerated the demand for digital skills.\u201d In order to meet this demand, upskilling is now more important than ever regardless of what business operations you\u2019re in.\n\nBut it\u2019s not as simple as training employees. Rand believes that businesses can support workers better by adopting a lifelong learning approach around upskilling and reskilling initiatives.\n\nThe good news is that embracing this practice would be useful for both employers and employees alike. Especially when it can help <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/workforce-optimisation-strategy\/\">optimise your work<\/a> by saving you time and increasing efficiency.\n\n<h2 id=\"a-few-tips-before-you-embark-on-your-digital-transformation-mission\">A few tips before you embark on your digital transformation mission<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"dont-forget-to-understand-different-learning-styles-first\">Don\u2019t forget to understand different learning styles first<\/h3>\nBefore diving into the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/digital-transformation-guide\/\">world of digital transformation<\/a> and upskilling, don\u2019t forget to take a moment to understand your team\u2019s learning style. Failing to gauge the right learning style for the right person can be a step backwards and a waste of time for you both.\n\nUpskilling your employees can be tricky. With so many levels to gauge, and all the different goals each team member has.
