JobKred Partners with Visier to Enhance Workforce Skills and Address APAC Talent Gaps

The rapidly evolving landscape of workforce requirements necessitates innovative solutions to bridge skills gaps, particularly in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. In light of this, a strategic partnership between JobKred, a leading provider of skills-based workforce transformation, and Visier, a global frontrunner in Workforce Intelligence, marks a significant step toward empowering organizations to meet the challenges posed by technological advancements and a shifting labor market.

This collaboration, announced on December 2, 2025, aims to equip organizations in APAC with essential skills intelligence and actionable insights. As companies increasingly adapt to the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) and face the impending talent shortages from a retiring workforce, having verifiable skills intelligence becomes crucial.

Navigating Talent Shortages with Data

To effectively navigate the current landscape of talent shortages, organizations must first establish a resilient workforce foundation. The partnership between JobKred and Visier focuses on providing businesses with tools to map existing skills accurately and tackle deficiencies head-on. By blending Visier's advanced workforce analytics with JobKred's verified skills platform, HR leaders will gain the clarity needed to transition successfully to a skills-based workforce model.

The integration of these capabilities allows organizations to make informed decisions that foster measurable business outcomes. By leveraging data to identify and reduce skills gaps proactively, companies can ensure that their talent decisions are not only strategic but also directly linked to maximizing learning and development investments while improving employee retention.

Lee Boon Huat, Senior Vice President of Growth Strategy at Visier APAC, emphasizes the importance of this partnership, stating, "The shift to a skills-based organization is a critical competitive advantage in today's dynamic market, and it begins with data-driven clarity. Our collaboration with JobKred responds to the rising demand in APAC for solutions that align people analytics with career growth."

Empowering Leaders with Skills Intelligence

The integrated solution offered by this partnership will equip HR and business leaders with the means to:
1. Identify Critical Skill Gaps: Using advanced analytics, organizations can pinpoint current and future skills shortages that align with their business strategies and external market trends.
2. Personalize Employee Growth: Employees are guided toward relevant learning pathways and career moves that merge their aspirations with organizational needs, ensuring a more engaged workforce.
3. Measure Transformation ROI: The impact of skills development programs can be quantified against critical business outcomes such as productivity and employee retention, proving the value of upskilling efforts.

As Gary Gan, CEO and Co-Founder of JobKred, highlights, “Asia Pacific is at a pivotal moment. Companies recognize the need to adopt skills-based models but often lack the data and tools to do so. Our partnership with Visier delivers the end-to-end capabilities necessary for workforce transformation that is real, measurable, and scalable."

By combining JobKred's skills intelligence with Visier's workforce analytics, they are laying the groundwork for a future that places skills at the forefront of workforce decisions.
