Why Career Development Expectations are Not Being Met and How to Bridge the Gap

Employees often complain they don’t get enough opportunities to develop their careers; complaints that go unheard because of a lack of either upskilling opportunities or a formal internal talent mobility system. To add to that, middle managers, who are critically-important people leaders, admit they neither make time for upskilling, nor are encouraged by their management to do so. 
 
Something’s got to give – don’t let the career development paradox hold you and your team back in 2022. Start with small steps such as encouraging your staff to watch that 30-minute training video on a Friday afternoon, or checking in regularly to not only monitor performance but provide guidance.
