Barriers to career progression

Victoria Dmochowski

We're getting ready to launch our biggest survey of the year to understand what matters most across the people profession. Here's a teaser question for you...

Parents
  • Geography. Deciding that I would work only within a fixed travel distance from my rural Gloucestershire home has dramatically reduced the number of roles available as I've worked my way up the ladder. If I were prepared to travel even as far as the mean streets of Bristol, Swindon or south Birmingham (all about an hour away) I would have a much greater range of options. But I recognize that this is a self-imposed barrier and I'm comfortable with that.
