Context piece
- Companies increasingly view employee training as necessary for adapting to rapid changes in technology, processes and customer expectations.
- Organizations are focusing on retaining and transferring knowledge already held by their employees.
- The shift reflects a shortage of job-market candidates with every required skill already in place.
Employee development is becoming more than an additional benefit for businesses. It is increasingly tied to whether organizations can adapt.
Technology, internal processes and customer expectations are changing faster than companies can find specialists who already possess every skill they need. That gap is pushing businesses to look inward.
More attention is therefore going to the knowledge employees have already built up inside the organization. Companies are seeking ways to preserve that expertise and pass it on to other workers, effectively turning employees into teachers.
