Have you ever asked a person what is the worst part of their job? If you will discuss with people from different domains they will offer you a common answer. Nowadays, employers expect their employees to have knowledge in various domains. But the problem is that when they hired them, they selected them for a special position, and they have skills for it. If later the employer wants their staff to do more, they may have the surprise to find out that their employees’ skills are limited.
More and more people are terrified that their leaders will ask them to do something they are not able to do. It is similar with asking your dog-walker to walk your dog without offering them a leash, or worse the dog. What businesses worldwide have to understand is that when their needs are changing, they do not have to let their employees go and hire new ones, they should train them, and offer them the education they need. If the employee gets the continuous education, they will have no problem in keeping up with the developments of the industry.
