Australia still facing skills gap crisis: Grist

SMBTech covered Peter Grist’s thoughts on Australia’s skills-gap crisis and what it means for organisations.

“Lower productivity, less innovation, reduced job satisfaction, lower levels of customer service, and stalled economic growth are some of the implications of an era of lower skilled workers unless government and the private sector move quickly to address the issue.”

“Training and development nurtures and encourages enthusiasm, it grows commitment and fosters a culture of innovation, creativity, and action. People feel more energized and excited about work when they are learning and developing their skills and capabilities. Training and development is confidence-building, and more confident people take bigger leaps,” said Peter.

Peter likes to get things done. His action-oriented mindset is one of the reasons clients love working with him, and his preference for solving problems and making a difference to the lives of people he works with has kept him with GRIST since the early days. He’s always been fascinated by how businesses work and loves the variety that comes with being a consultant. When he’s not leading the GRIST team, you can find him honing his coaching skills with his kids’ sports teams.
