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...

What has been the single largest barrier to advancing in your career?

  • Similar to the others - availability of roles without a massive commute and wanting only to work for industries I considered to be at least broadly ethical. I don't like driving and have a preference for greener travel, so have always been restricted to roles I could get to by public transport and didn't involve a lot of driving to different sites (always happy to do it other means though). Whilst it has restricted the number of roles, it has meant I've been 'forced' to look at different sectors, which in fact has lead to a broader career than I might have had otherwise!
