The opportunity to grow at work is a core value for today’s employees, Lana Peters, chief customer experience officer at the platform Performance Management Platform Enterprising.
“Employees can determine that they are in a high-quality job by seeing that they are receiving feedback and coaching for career growth within the company,” he said. “Do you give managers real-time feedback on your work and ideas on how you can improve?”

Frequent conversations about feedback and goals can affect your career trajectory — and managers, Peters says, need to communicate that AI and modern technologies are needed to make them as productive as possible.
In fact, if your organization is not encouraging its leaders to free AI from manual tasks and use AI to manage personal growth, you should consider taking steps to improve your work environment and lack of quality work.
For example, if you’re not getting feedback as often as you’d like, let your manager know that it helps you improve in real time.

“The answers can help identify a good job in this volatile economy and job market,” he said.
