(NASDAQ: WDAY) software partner, now integrates with Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) and Workday Skills Cloud. The integration of Skillsoft Percipio with Workday gives joint customers a new skills-based approach to learning, career development, and talent optimization.

According to recent Skillsoft research, 66% of decision-makers have identified critical skills gaps in their organization. 24% attribute this to an inability to anticipate necessary future skills.
