On May 26 at 1p.m. ET, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation in partnership with SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management), will host a virtual event to release new research exploring the current workplace landscape and examine the challenges that hinder innovation in training and employee development.
Notably, the survey highlights that despite economic uncertainty, employers have an appetite for further talent investment and employer collaborations. The survey centered on four types of training: skill-based training, paid work-based training, tuition assistance, and financial wellness and security benefits.
“Even in a time of significant economic and labor market volatility, employers have maintained their investment in and commitment to their workers—with many eager to increase it,” says Jason A. Tyszko, vice president of the U.S. Chamber Foundation’s Center for Education and Workforce.
