If the Great Resignation has shown us anything, employees are reevaluating where and how they choose to work. Workers are demanding flexibility, with a focus on learning and development.

“They want development opportunities and that’s not just training,” says Lisbeth Claus, Professor Emerita of Management and Global Human Resources at the Atkinson Graduate School of Management of Willamette University and visiting professor at Pforzheim University in Germany.
