“There is a growing need among employees for training on topics and skills that transcend their job roles,” said Thanos Papangelis, Co-founder of TalentLMS. “Personal and professional growth are not separate roads to success. Companies should invest in nurturing well-rounded professionals, acknowledging continuous learning beyond job specifics is essential in the ever-changing business landscape.”
The TalentLMS-Vyond survey revealed the top three non-mandatory training topics employees want to get training on are leadership and management, mental health, and use of AI tools.
Underscoring the importance of training in career development, 72% of respondents said they have progressed in their careers thanks to the training they’ve received from their companies in 2023. In addition, 71% report feeling more prepared for the future of work because of the training they’ve been provided. Still, two in three employees (66%) think they need to develop new skills to be successful at their job.
“People-first companies know that skills development is essential to both the business and the employee,”said Van Diamandakis, Chief Commercial Officer at Vyond. “Getting it right for today’s workforce requires addressing the challenges of workplace learning, including cost effective, relevant and engaging learning delivered at the moment of need and at scale, surfaced in our findings.”
According to employees, when it comes to training offered by their companies, some of the main challenges they face are that training requires too much time and it isn’t delivered in an engaging way.
