Learning and Career Development

Learning and career development cover how people build skills and move forward inside a company: the training they take, the mentors and colleagues they learn from, and the roles they grow into. When this works, employees see a future in the company and more open roles can be filled from within.

On the career side, start with career development and career pathing, then track progress with the internal mobility rate and time in role before promotion. On the learning side, training effectiveness shows whether programs change how people work, and a mentor, job shadowing and job crafting are ways to learn on the job beyond formal courses. The critical role vacancy rate connects both sides: it shows how many key roles are unfilled, a gap that internal development can help close.

Pair the numbers with what employees say: career development satisfaction shows whether people see room to grow where they are.

In Skailer, development goals live in Goals & OKRs, performance reviews can rate them at the end of the period, and every promotion or transfer is a dated position record with its reason.
