    Survey in November 2014 by Accenture of 3,600 business professionals from entry level to management (600 from US) (respondents split evenly by gender, age, and level in their organizations) on listening, learning, and leading in the workplace, 2015. Finds that multi-tasking depresses good listening (which is valued as a work skill) and that while technology enables leaders to communicate quickly with workforce, it can also make them too accessible and subject to information overload.

    Article by Peter Cappelli, Washington Post, September 5. "Companies simply haven't invested much in training their workers. In 1979, young workers got an average of 2.5 weeks of training a year. While data is not easy to come by, around 1995, several surveys of employers found that the average amount of training workers received per year was just under 11 hours, and the most common topic was workplace safety - not building new skills. By 2011, an Accenture study showed that only about a fifth of employees reported getting on-the-job training from their employers over the past five years."
