60%

of Russian company heads believe that the ability to solve work-related problems without help is acquired by employees only with experience in working independently. Various training courses are ineffective in this area. This information was obtained during a survey of 1,000 representatives of large, medium and small businesses operating in six primary economic sectors. It was conducted jointly as part of the Monitoring of Education Markets and Organisations by the HSE and the Yuri Levada Analytical Center.

In assessing how experience affects employees’ ability to organise their time and work in teams, the opinion of business leaders was equally divided. One part believes that personal experience plays a key role. Another is confident that all of these skills can be learned under the guidance of mentors.

An information bulletin on the research has been published (in Russian) on the monitoring survey’s website.
