According to the first study in ADP Research’s refreshed “People at Work 2025” report series, only a quarter (24%) of the global workforce is confident they have the skills needed to advance to the next job level in the near future, while just 17 percent of workers strongly agree their employers are investing in the skills they need for career advancement.
