Want to upskill your workers? Here are 5 organizations that can help

Published Updated 2 Min Read

Learning and development are more than just buzzwords employers can throw around to make employees feel valued. For today’s employees, education and growth at work are very real expectations.  

According to LinkedIn’s 2019 Workplace Learning report, 94% of employees said that they would stay at a company longer if it’s investing in workers’ learning and development. And three years later, that remains true — demand for learning and development specialists increased 94% between July and September 2021, compared to the three months prior. 

According to the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching, 1.5 million searches are made every month by people and companies looking for life coaches, business coaches and executive coaches. And while face-to-face coaching decreased sharply after the pandemic arrived, by 74%, online coaching skyrocketed, increasing by 57%.

Professional coaching platform Bravely partners with employers to offer one-on-one career coaching to employees on a number of office-driven topics such as performance management, boosting retention and employee experience and growth and development.
