【香港】职员在技能培训方面普遍掌握主动权

Hong Kong candidates takethe wheel when it comes to driving their skills development

Most Hong Kongcandidates are driving their own professional development agenda rather thanlooking to their employer to provide training, according to recruiting expertsHays.

In the latest Hayspoll, a massive 77 per cent of Hong Kong respondents take responsibility fordeveloping their skills using a combination of self-learning and leveragingon-the job experience.

A further 12 percent look to formal courses to add to their skill set while only 11 per centrely on their employer to provide training and development.

Dean Stallard,Regional Director of Hays in Hong Kong, says the poll results are positive buthe also has a warning for career-minded candidates about relying solely oninformal methods of skills development.

"Unlike past generations, Hong Kong's workforce of today is far more proactive in keeping up with thechanging demands for specific skills and knowledge related to their job andsector," says Dean.

"There is much to be gained from making the most of mentors andstretch goals at work to take your skills to the next level. Online coursesalso make it that much easier to keep up with the skills and knowledge neededin your sector," he says.

"My one note of warning about relying on informal learning would befor career-minded candidates to keep up with the formal qualifications trendingin their sector. For some job roles, employers require specific tertiaryqualifications and even post graduate qualifications and so they won't accept anything less," Dean says.

    瀚纳仕最新研究报告指出，大多数香港职员并不依赖雇主为其提供培训来提高自身技能，他们更倾向于通过自主学习的方式或者总结过去经验来提升自己。

    最近的民意调查结果表明，77%的受访者认为提高自身技能的方法就是在结合过去工作经验的同时主动进行学习。另有23%的受访者认为雇主应该提供培训，这其中的12%的人认为课程应该更为正规一些。

    瀚纳仕香港区总监Dean表示，与过去的几代人不同的是，当今香港的员工们通常会更加积极主动的通过学习来应对工作种的各类需求。这些员工们会尽可能多的向导师学习，并且充分的利用好每次工作任务，如此一来，他们的技能会上升一个级别。同时，线上课程也是一个易于员工进行学习的有利途径。

    但是，Dean同时对那些以自学途径来提升技能的职员提出了警示，他讲道，对于部分工作来说，雇主在招聘时还是会选择具有高等学历的人，如研究生等，他们雇佣员工的门槛是不会降低的。Dean认为，有上进心和职业心的求职者应时刻保持警醒的心，对应职场上不断变化的情况。
