By Joanne Kaldy / June 3, 2020

While half of employees in a new survey say the pandemic has increased their use of online learning programs, just over a fourth still worry they lack in-demand skills to succeed post-COVID. Among other findings:

  • The most popular skills workers pursued are adaptability, creativity, and time management.
