Workplace Change and Emerging Skills in Post-Pandemic Training Needs Assessment: Evidence from Bangladesh’s Public Sector
Keywords:
training needs assessment; knowledge; skills; adaptability skills; future skills; reskilling; post-pandemic era; post-Covid-19Abstract
This study aims to figure out how workplace changes and new skills affect the training needs assessment of public sector officials in Bangladesh at the time of the post-pandemic era. A total of 408 valid responses were obtained from public officials in Bangladesh. Researchers measured the training needs of Bangladeshi public sector officials in the post-pandemic era by examining workplace changes and new knowledge and skills. Stakeholders will have the opportunity to assess their training needs and gain insight into the evolving workplace and emerging skills required for the post-COVID period, which is crucial for public-sector employees in Bangladesh. An SEM (Structural Equation Model) model was formulated for EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis), where post pandemic training needs assessment is evaluated by using two independent variables that are workplace change and emerging skills to support the robustness of the findings by ensuring the validity and reliability of the research model. The research results indicate that workplace changes and new knowledge and skills have a significant impact on the training needs assessment of Bangladesh’s public sector. Furthermore, the research provides insight into the critical need to include training programs that focus on these essential competencies to ensure a successful transition to the post-pandemic era.References
