As an employer, it\u2019s important that you not only keep your team productive, but that you keep them challenged.\u00a0After all, one of the reasons people leave their jobs is because they\u2019ve stopped learning. And if they\u2019ve stopped learning at your company they\u2019re going to try and learn somewhere else.<\/p>\n

Right now, 68% of people feel challenged at work, according to the latest reading of an\u00a0ongoing query<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0Comparably.com<\/a>. More than 10,000 people across the tech sector participated in the query.<\/p>\n

Challenged at every stage<\/b><\/p>\n

It may seem that those in the earliest parts of their career would feel more challenged than those in the later parts, but that\u2019s not the case: the rate varied between 67% and 70% among workers of all experience levels.<\/p>\n

Men\u00a0say they don\u2019t feel as challenged<\/b><\/p>\n

Those in HR and executive roles have the highest rates of saying they find their job challenging (76% and 85%, respectively), followed next by those in engineering and product. People in admin, legal, and customer support had the lowest rates of saying they find their job challenging (50%, 61%, and 61% respectively).<\/p>\n
