## Hiring and retention are more competitive than ever

Finding and keeping the right talent is becoming more challenging. External hiring can be costly and slow, while employees seek growth opportunities—or they leave. Without investment in development, organizations risk high turnover, low engagement, and workforce instability. To overcome these challenges, employers should prioritize building internal talent, offering clear career paths, and investing in skills development.
