Building your future-ready workforce: A framework for skills-based organisations
Why become skills-based?
In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, organisations face significant challenges driven by technological advancements, shifting customer expectations, and a dynamic incoming workforce. These factors have contributed to a widening skills gap, making it increasingly difficult for businesses to attract and retain talent with the requisite expertise. To address these issues, we have created the Skills-Based Organisation Framework. By prioritising skills over traditional job structures, the framework enables organisations to better adapt to the changing demands of the modern economy and ensure they are well-positioned to drive sustainable growth.

What's in the framework?
Developed with our members, and supported by PwC, the Skills-Based Organisation framework provides practical guidance on embracing the skills-based approach and achieving tangible progress. The framework is a resource developed exclusively for Financial Services Skills Commission members. However, we have produced a high level overview of how your organisation can begin its skills-based transition.

“At Barclays, we have been delighted to have worked alongside the Financial Services Skills Commission to help produce this framework, as we are working hard to equip everyone with the right skills for the future. For example, we have been investing in solid foundations to be able to integrate skills across our HR Processes – and our streamlined and consistent talent framework, together with improved technology, will help enable greater insights on our workforce to inform our upskilling, reskilling, and strategic hiring priorities.”
