Today’s workforce, especially the younger generations, values growth and development. In fact, the Society for Human Resource Management’s (SHRM) Skills Gap 2019 report indicates that “over 50% of respondents feel that skills shortages have worsened or greatly worsened in their organizations in the last two years,” says Gabriel S. Clevenger, assistant vice president of enrollment management with Champlain College Online in Burlington, Vermont.
In addition, the 2019 Work Institutes Retention Report indicates that the highest driver of potentially preventable, voluntary turnover is career development. It’s a category that has grown 32% since 2013.
