For the past 18 months, one topic has been at the forefront of HR and L&D conversations: AI.
Research by McKinsey highlights how generative AI can deliver up to $4.4 trillion in economic value annually. According to MIT Sloan research, companies that implement generative AI tools see significant productivity boosts among highly skilled workers, with performance increases as high as 40%. The adoption of AI in workflows is crucial for competitiveness.
The arrival of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools placed new pressures on HR and L&D professionals. Executives, investors and customers want to know how the company is using AI to become more productive and more effective. At the same time, employees themselves may be experimenting with AI in their workflows. Without a dedicated strategy and guidance from the top, the organization could end up losing valuable time in its AI adoption — or worse, moving in the wrong direction.
The most common pain point we hear from these HR and L&D leaders is that they don’t know where to begin. AI is an emerging technology for all of us, and employees who haven’t worked with the tools themselves may struggle to roll it out to others. Employees in different roles and at different skill levels will require different learning pathways — how can one HR / L&D team stay on top of it all?
Today Workera is launching the Future-Fit Skills Bundle — a comprehensive future-proof solution for company-wide AI talent readiness.
Here’s how the Future-Fit Skills Bundle improves learning outcomes for all employees and ensures companies can stay ahead of the pace of change.
Future-fit skills for every employee
Until now, an individual organization would see varied adoption in terms of AI.
Imagine two salespeople side by side: one harnesses ChatGPT to supercharge workflows, while the other sticks to the old routine. Over time, the gap between those two employees will expand as the first increases their efficiency and the second sticks with the status quo. Here’s the problem for HR and L&D leaders: not only is their workforce inconsistent in its AI adoption, but the company can’t even tell which employee is which.
On a larger scale, the organization has no way to identify the AI skill levels of individual employees. They may deploy an L&D program that serves the average of their workforce, but if their learning content aims for the middle between the employee using AI tools extensively and the employee who isn’t using AI at all, the content won’t help either of them.
For companies to get on track with their AI readiness, they need to be able to provide tailored learning experiences to everyone in the organization — not just the average employee. Workera’s tailored upskilling solution factors in an employee’s role, responsibilities, and skill level, dramatically reducing the time it takes to achieve AI proficiency. Workera gives HR and L&D leaders visibility into the skill levels of their employees, while the Future-Fit Skills Bundle offers those employees the tools they need to become best-in-class.
Harvard Business Review suggests that personalized AI learning programs not only close skills gaps faster but also foster greater employee engagement and innovation, crucial for sustainable growth.

As businesses integrate AI more deeply into their operations, every employee will need to develop the right foundation of skills to be fit for future opportunities. This bundle of 11 domains provides employees with that foundation, providing tailored mentorship that meets every employee at their current skill level and provides them with hyper personalized upskilling to catch up to industry standards, faster.
The Future-Fit Skills Bundle adapts to the needs and abilities of each individual user, providing more targeted and effective mentorship as the user completes more assessments and provides more information. This adaptive interface accelerates learning, allowing employees to become “Future-Fit” faster than ever before.

Workera’s Future-Fit Skills Bundle equips organizations to be not just future-ready but future-proof.
