Flexibility in scheduling, followed by the opportunity for career advancement are the top reasons for staying with the employer. 24 % of employees feel highly confident that they have the skills to advance to the next job level soon.

State of Work Innovation
Work Innovation Lab | 2025
67 % of employers in Germany suffered from burnout in the last 12 months. 68 % of leaders in Germany are pseudo-productive. Interestingly, people who fake working are 42 % more likely to experience burnout than those who focus on meaningful work .
My concern: Do companies reward activities rather than outcomes? Consider the impact this has on both your people and on your business.*

Gartner | 2025
This year’s trends emphasize the integration of AI, the importance of employee well-being, and the need for diversity and inclusion.

Workplace Learning Report
LinkedIn | 2025
The most at-risk skills are business strategy, strategic planning, sales management, and project planning. All require critical thinking, working with uncertainty, and institutional knowledge.

Talent - Build or Buy
Forbes | 2025
Performance lift exceeds the fire and hire strategy. One of three key principles is to measure what truly matters – behavior change and business impact, not just learning hours or completed certifications.
Be clear: Show that you reward and recognize impact, not just effort. Avoid creating hype around input.*
