Take Note:  Last month we saw that 6 of the top 10 reasons people leave their jobs were opportunities ripe for training.  This month, we look at recent research from Cornerstone OnDemand (www.csod.com) that found:

  • Only 32 percent of employed American adults have received training and development to increase job performance in the past 6 months.
  • Only 25 percent of survey respondents said they have had the opportunity to establish career goals with their manager.
  • Two-thirds of respondents reported that they have not received useful feedback on their performance.

“The worldwide skills shortage is quickly becoming a crisis across companies of all sizes and industries,” said Jason Corsello, vice president of corporate strategy and marketing for Cornerstone OnDemand, a provider of cloud-based talent management software solutions. “Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet to address the global skills shortage. But companies can take action to build programs today and invest more in ongoing training and continuous feedback for their employees.”  TrainingDailyAdvisor@nl.blr-news.com (29 March 2013)
