Boost Productivity. Drive Innovation. Stay Competitive.
In today’s fast-moving digital world, business success depends on a digitally skilled workforce. From streamlining workflows to improving collaboration and enhancing customer experiences, digital confidence is no longer a “nice-to-have”—it’s a must-have.
Yet, the UK faces a major digital skills gap:
🔴 8.5 million people lack basic digital skills—many of them in the workforce.
🔴 21% of employees feel left behind by technology, impacting productivity and morale.
🔴 3.7 million families fall below the Minimum Digital Living Standard—meaning many employees don’t even have access to the tools they need to develop their skills.
For businesses, the impact is clear: A workforce that struggles with technology is a workforce that struggles to deliver.
What Digital Exclusion Costs Your Business
📉 Lower Productivity – Employees without digital confidence spend more time on manual tasks, struggle with collaboration tools, and rely on outdated processes.
💸 Higher Costs – Without digital fluency, teams can’t fully leverage automation, AI, and data-driven decision-making—leading to inefficiencies and lost revenue.
😟 Workforce Disengagement – Employees who feel disconnected from technology are less engaged, less innovative, and more likely to leave.
🏆 Competitive Disadvantage – Organisations that fail to invest in digital skills risk falling behind more agile, tech-savvy competitors.
The good news? This is fixable—and the benefits are massive.
