Upskilling in real time

The evolution of learning

The concept of continuous upskilling gained momentum with the advent of digital learning technologies. Traditional, formalized training sessions have given way to more agile, personalized learning methods. Today's employees expect accessible, tailored content that fits seamlessly into their daily work. Learning now happens not only in classrooms but also through bite-sized content and interactive platforms.

At SIG, we've embraced this shift, making real-time learning a central part of our organizational culture.

The benefits of real-time upskilling

Real-time upskilling offers immense benefits, including:

• Increased employee agility and responsiveness to market changes
• Higher engagement and job satisfaction
• Enhanced innovation and creative problem-solving capabilities
• Greater retention and internal career mobility

SIG integrates these benefits into a comprehensive learning strategy that empowers employees to lead and succeed.

What we're doing at SIG:

• SIG Academy – Our digital learning hub provides employees with access to 35+ online modules, including interactive courses focused on sustainability and customer-facing skills.
• Microlearning initiatives – Through platforms like Bookboon and targeted Upskill sessions, we offer concise, impactful content designed to integrate easily into daily tasks. In 2024 alone, 4,813 participants engaged with 71 Upskill sessions covering 37 key topics.
• Career mobility programs – Our structured Job Architecture framework clearly defines pathways, supporting employees to envision and achieve internal career progression. In 2024, upskill sessions received an average rating of 4.68 out of 5, with 75% of participants giving them 5 stars. Real stories featured in our SIGer on the Move series showcase how employees are navigating these pathways across borders and functions.
  Building on this foundation, we are preparing to launch our Career Pathing initiative providing employees with even greater clarity on career progression opportunities across SIG.
• Continuous learning channels – We foster a learning culture through monthly Learning & Development news, which provides curated resources, insights, and opportunities to expand knowledge continuously.
