New Udemy Report Finds Workplaces are Fraught With Behavior Issues and Boundary Confusion
Summary
The findings reveal that employees of all ages feel challenged by the blurring of lines between their personal and professional lives and also by relaxed workplace norms. Key findings include: “With open floor plans, always-on communication, social media, and casual workplaces, today’s employees feel increasing pressure to share more with their coworkers, often leading to crossed boundaries," said Cara Brennan Allamano, senior vice president of HR, Udemy. "As our workplace becomes more casual and the impact of the #MeToo movement continues to reverberate, companies must equip managers and employees with the soft skills needed to address shifting expectations around boundaries at work. More than 40 million students are mastering new skills from expert instructors teaching over 130,000 online courses in topics from programming and data science to leadership and team building. For companies, Udemy for Business offers an employee training and development platform with subscription access to 3,500+ courses, learning analytics, as well as the ability to host and distribute their own content.
