“…Mikołajczyk (2022) afirma que la adquisición de nuevos conocimientos y habilidades a través de la capacitación conduce a un mejor desempeño de los empleados. Además, Britz (2018) y Cormier et al (2020) sostienen que el adiestramiento mejora los conocimientos y habilidades de los empleados, para facilitar los nuevos retos relacionados con el trabajo, permitiéndoles adaptarse mejor y, por tanto, mejorar su desempeño laboral. Diab-Bahman y Al-En-zi (2020), a su vez, afirman que el proceso de adiestramiento y desarrollo sirve para mejorar la confianza de los empleados y la actitud general hacia la organización.…”

“…Skills development is the sum of processes or activities geared towards enhancing human knowledge, expertise, interpersonal relationships, and production (Nwaeke & Onyebuchi 2017). The focus is thus on performance improvement as well as personal growth and development (Achanya & Cinjel 2022;Cormier et al 2020). Skills development contributes towards the human capital development of an organisation, and it could propel women's careers (Khalid et al 2017;Rath et al 2019).…”

Background: Women have been climbing the organisational ladder at a slower pace than men. Several reasons have been cited for women's slow progress to senior positions, but little attention has been given to the role of personal responsibility in women's career progress. Yet personal factors are vital for skills development and career advancement. Aim:The aim of the study is to determine whether skills development influences women's career advancement, and to establish whether selected personal factors influence women's skills development and their career advancement.Setting: The study focused on women working in the service sector in Johannesburg, South Africa. Method:The study was quantitative in nature, and a survey strategy was used. The final sample consisted of 412 women. Results:The results reveal that personal responsibility is essential for the skills development and career advancement of women. Also, skills development is vital for women's career advancement. Conclusion:Women need to take the lead in planning their careers, and they should intentionally engage in developmental activities that influence their career outcomes.Contribution: Previous research has given little attention to the role women play in their own skills development and career advancement. Also, insufficient consideration has been given to skills development to achieve career advancement. The study fills this gap in knowledge regarding women's career advancement.

“…Organisations that largely base success on human capital should remember to systematically invest in expanding knowledge and facilitating the acquisition of new skills by its employees. The business environment is constantly changing, technology is developing dynamically, therefore, an employee who is supposed to be professionally effective should constantly update his or her knowledge, broaden competences and have a chance to develop the potential inherent in it (Britz, 2018), also during the pandemic (Cormier et al, 2020). Some recent research finding suggest that developing a lifelong learning mindset in employees enhances both objective and subjective career success (Drewery et al, 2020) and what more, the employee professional development increases job satisfaction and reduces turnover (Glazer et al, 2019).…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the direction and extent of changes in the approach of organisations to employee development that have occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach This research is of a qualitative nature. The thematic exploration uses the analysis of findings from 19 in-depth interviews with experienced HR managers and is preceded by desk research. Findings The findings advance our understanding of how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected developmental processes in organisations. The results indicate, apart from the change in the form and methodology of employee trainings due to the pandemic, that employees also desire new subjects to aid their development. One also noticed decreased employee engagement and increased fatigue with the use of multiple, online development initiatives. Practical implications For learning and development (L&D) practitioners, there are implications in relation to tailoring developmental offerings to fit the needs of employees to help them to progress more in the course of their work. In this new reality, an agile approach to employee development can work much better. The activities of the L&D departments should also take into greater account the changing and unpredictable reality as well as the evolving nature of information and communication technologies (ICT). The COVID-19 pandemic may contribute to the analysis and modernisation of existing offerings for development in organisations and foster a culture of lifelong learning. Originality/value This research makes an important contribution to the literature by examining the impact of situational context on modifications in development activities undertaken in organisations. The results indicate the need to change the existing role of L&D teams in organisations, taking into account the maximum use of e-learning potential, while understanding its limitations. It can be assumed that while the pandemic develops, designing hybrid learning will become even more important and L&D professionals will focus on combining the flexibility of self-training and available online resources with highly engaging real-world experiences.
