How do we implement upskilling at G-Nius?

At G-Nius, we highly value the development of our employees. Therefore, we strongly focus on upskilling, supporting our people in continuously improving and expanding their skills. In this article, we explain how we apply upskilling within our organization. From monthly progress meetings to attending courses and knowledge sessions, we offer various opportunities for personal and professional growth.

What is upskilling?

Previously, we wrote a blog post about upskilling. Upskilling is the process by which employees acquire new skills or improve existing ones to enhance their competencies and employability. This is essential in a rapidly changing job market where technological innovations and evolving business strategies constantly impose new demands on workers.

Progress meetings as a basis for development

At G-Nius, we place great importance on the development of our employees. Monthly progress meetings with each employee help determine their current status and well-being. In these meetings, we always ask: “How can we support you?” This ensures that we can continually respond to the needs and ambitions of our staff.

There is space and freedom to broaden and enrich knowledge through webinars or by attending knowledge sessions, trade fairs, and events. We believe that continuous education is essential for professional growth, so we strive to offer various learning and development opportunities.

Collaboration and feedback for team improvement

Additionally, colleagues always work together to help each other when needed. A few years ago, we introduced the 361° feedback form. Every six months, all colleagues provide feedback to themselves and each other, highlighting areas for improvement. We have found that this approach provides new insights and strengthens team cohesion. This way, we can also help each other achieve goals by understanding what the learning points are.

Training and courses

In addition to the above points, we also offer training and courses. For example, last year, our recruiters took a course through Recruiters University to enhance their existing recruitment skills. This helped them perform better and work more efficiently.

Currently, we are looking into a suitable training or course for our marketing team, as they have expressed a desire to gain more knowledge about recruitment marketing. Before joining G-Nius, both of our marketers worked in retail marketing. While some marketing principles are universally applicable, many skills are specific to our industry. Therefore, we want to give them the opportunity to expand their skills with new marketing expertise relevant to recruitment.

Upskilling for professionals

The IT world is a dynamic environment where technical developments can follow each other rapidly. It is important for our professionals to have up-to-date knowledge. We, as an employer, encourage and facilitate the pursuit of education and courses to acquire this knowledge. This enables us to better meet the needs of our clients and support professionals in their personal and professional development.

Investing in growth and development

At G-Nius, we see upskilling not as a one-time investment but as an ongoing process that contributes to the growth and success of both our employees and our organization. Therefore, we continuously invest in the development of our people so that they can keep growing and excelling in their field.
