One-Third of U.S., U.K. Workers Not Confident in Their Skills, Survey Finds

A new Docebo poll of nearly 2,400 American and British employees found 32 percent felt unqualified to do their job, and 33 percent were worried this view was shared by their boss or colleagues, reports HR Dive . Meanwhile, 52 percent of respondents said they have a co-worker who is unqualified to perform the work they are assigned. One in three respondents said they use the Internet, searching Google or YouTube for tutorials, rather than solicit help from colleagues. One-third of Americans and 38 percent of Britons said employer-provided training falls short of their expectations, with one in three calling such training out-of-date. Close to 25 percent of workers felt under-qualification could result in their firing. In the United States, 32 percent of respondents called training critical, as did 27 percent of U.K. respondents. In addition, 36 percent of all workers, and nearly 50 percent of millennials, said they would consider quitting a job that lacked learning opportunities.
