Overview: Employees want to grow, but many are not getting the support, feedback, and opportunities they need to keep developing. This edition of CMC Quarterly explores what organizations can do to build stronger workforce capability through managers, learning, coaching, AI, and everyday work experiences.
The Talent Development Disconnect
Employees are ambitious about their futures. The challenge is turning that ambition into capability.
Our latest research points to a gap between employees’ desire to grow and the support available to help them do it. Managers also play a critical role, yet many have stepped into people leadership without formal preparation.
