Specialized Training is Key to Workforce Retention

A Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey published by PwC in May 2022 highlights the feelings of today’s workers—and the challenges and opportunities for their employers.

According to the survey, 29% of workers said their country “lacks people with the skills to do my kind of work.” The study also found that workers with specialized skills and training felt more empowered than those whose jobs do not require specialized training.

Additionally, younger workers are more concerned about not getting sufficient training from their employer (44%) and are more worried that technology will replace their role (38%) compared to baby boomers (29% and 19%, respectively).

The survey included 52,000 workers spread out across 44 countries and territories.
