CBS Competitiveness Day 2016: "Closing the Skills Gap"

This year's HCA contribution to the 2016 CBS Competitiveness Day will be "Closing the Skills Gap"

Monday, September 5, 2016 - 08:30 to 17:00
 


In 2016 the Human Capital Analytics Group published a report “Skills Gap in Denmark: Investigation of Børsen’s Top 1000” (available here).

 

The conclusion of the report was that the majority of Danish companies have experienced an acute skills gap. The implications of a persistent skills gap are significant for both society and the competitive advantage of Danish firms. The report also pointed out that rather than passively accepting the lack of skills and competences crucial for their performance, most companies actively take up the challenge and seek to mitigate the skills gap through a variety of measures.

 

In this session, two companies will be presenting their approaches in mitigating the skills gap. Participants will also have a possibility to discuss the results of the report and get inspiration for possible solutions.
