Peer mentoring/coaching and regular workshops/training sessions are tied for second place (both 70%), indicating a balanced approach that combines collaborative, peer-based, and formal learning methods.
Including soft skills in performance evaluations was mentioned by 30% of respondents, suggesting this is a less favored approach but still recognized by some.
No respondents indicated that ‘no actions are necessary’—unlike in several other countries—suggesting universal agreement on the need for active skill development strategies.
