PHOENIX–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dec 21, 2024–
University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has released a new white paper, “Overcoming Talent Stagnation: Enhancing Skills for Marketability,” by TaMika Fuller, DBA, an affiliate of the Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR) and College alumna, and Victoria Lender, DBA. The authors draw upon data from the University of Phoenix Career Institute ® 2024 Career Optimism Index study to explore the problem and causes of talent stagnation, how employees can enhance their own skills, and what solutions are available for employers in an age of rapidly evolving technology.
“Technology plays an enormous role in the way we learn and work,” shares Fuller. “Understanding technology and its potential for strategic innovation and continuous workforce improvement can inform how we tackle talent development and move beyond this moment of talent stagnation.”
The white paper explores what the Index revealed about the causes of talent stagnation, contributing factors, how employees overcome the phenomenon, and provides an overview of potential solutions, including upskilling and reskilling, through a combination of technological advancements and education.
The white paper also proposes that employers can embrace internal mobility programs. “These programs foster a sustainable workforce and encourage employers to have the employee-first mindset,” shares Lender.
