However, structured learning programs can be costly and require investment in time, money, and attention to ensure they align with organizational strategy and goals. Not all organizations have clarity on 2022 budgets with the ability to allocate money for training, upskilling, and professional development. While some purse strings remain tight in the face of COVID variants cropping up around the world, it might be more prudent to focus on internal coaching and mentoring. Connecting less experienced employees with senior colleagues who are dedicated to helping others achieve career goals helps raise morale, build skillsets, and ultimately contribute to greater levels of employee satisfaction and productivity. It can also open doors for promotions, cross-functional collaborations, and reverse mentoring where newer employees provide tenured professionals with different perspectives and fresh insight.
