Learning and development firm Righttrack Consultancy pointed out that many people use the new year as a convenient time to set goals for things they wish to improve and claimed that this should be carried over into their professional lives.
The organisation recommended that employees attempt to improve their skills and qualifications through the development schemes that their company offers, as well as reading material such as corporate newsletters, industry guidance and white papers.
Gemma Middleton, marketing manager at Righttrack, commented: 'Skills development is a powerful people management tool. We believe that learning and development will play a key role in the recovery of the UK economy.'
Recent research carried out by campaign group Keep Britain Working claimed that nine out of ten employers prefer to hire candidates with the right attitude rather than those with the best skill set, which may be encouraging to those thinking of switching IT jobs.
