Massive shifts in the labor market aren’t slowing down. By 2030, an estimated 12 million job transitions will reshape the workforce. Employees are making it clear why they’re leaving—and what they need to stay.
McKinsey reports that workers in lower-wage jobs are 14 times more likely to switch careers than those in higher-wage roles, with many requiring new skills to succeed. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum predicts a 44% shift in required skills over the next five years, driven by technology.

Today’s employees expect development opportunities that meet them where they are. In fact, 76% want to work for a company that supports continuous learning.
Personalized learning isn’t just a perk—it’s a strategic advantage. Companies that invest in tailored, adaptable development programs empower employees, build resilience, and gain a competitive edge.
