it about climate change, or more broadly about ESG – does match

Almost 40 per cent of
employees in Singapore
are dissatisfied with
their companies’ training
programs, driving more than
half to upskill outside their
workplace. The finding comes
from the Workforce Learning
in Workplace Transformation
Report 2021 by the NTUC
LearningHub.
The limited range of topics
covered by a company’s
learning and development
program (40 per cent) is the
main reason for discontent.

Other reasons include
programs being boring
and having a conventional
training approach (37 per
cent), and training topics
not being relevant for career
advancements (18 per cent).
The study suggests that
companies would benefit
from improving their training
programs, with 86 per cent of
employees saying “availability
and comprehensiveness of
training courses” are key
factors for them to remain
loyal to their employer.
