Upskilling for the Future
As technology evolves at an unprecedented pace, the conversation around workforce sustainability is increasingly focused on upskilling. In episode 797 of HRchat, Tan Moorthy, the new CEO of Revature, shared key insights with me on why organizations must embrace continuous learning to stay ahead in an AI-driven world.
With extensive expertise in both human resources and technology, Tan highlights the limitations of traditional hiring methods in today’s competitive market. Instead of solely recruiting experienced talent, companies must invest in developing their existing workforce—empowering employees with the skills needed to navigate rapid technological advancements.

Tan also emphasizes that when human potential is combined with technology, new opportunities for growth and innovation emerge. His conversation is a compelling reminder that a learning mindset is no longer optional—it’s essential for every professional, regardless of industry.
Whether you’re an HR leader, business executive, or someone passionate about the future of work, this discussion offers valuable strategies to help organizations future-proof their workforce.
