HCSC appears not be investing or supporting as much in the past several years on the talent and development of employees, training from outside organizations around career growth, upskilling, education, travel to conferences, and in tools to perform job in certain areas. What is your experience with this? Do you feel this is an accurate statement in your area?

The truth is, there are training resources available. How much encouragement and assistance you get with using them is going to largely depend on your individual department and management team. I've had some take great interest in my development and work hard to mentor me. I've had others who barely spoke to me outside of the handful of times each year they were required to.
So you think there is one unhappy person at HCSC, and the other 99.9% of the employees are happy with the intensity of a thousand suns? Or, is it possible that unhappy employees end up on sites like this in greater numbers than happy employees, so the voting might be skewed that direction, perhaps? Also stop taking Nancy's name in vain. Haven't the Nancy's and Karen's suffered enough? Take your anti-Nancite views elsewhere!
As a potential future HCSC employee who has been looking at all the new comments for the last few weeks, I agree, there is a troll who likes to swarm votes to their favor and be a negative Nancy.
It’s hilarious that trolls will downvote any positive comments about some else’s training experience. They downvote anyone who takes initiative. The business doesn’t owe you anything. Take initiative for yourself, will you?
I didnt even know you could travel to conferences. It's pretty much do it on your own time (if you have any) and managers don't seem to actively encourage you to develop your career but if you do show signs they do help/help find internal roles.
In our department there’s a budget, per person, to invest in appropriate development each year. This in addition to Development Week and the recent training for all supervisors to better understand how to help employees support the business plan. It also requires self motivation. Your supervisor can help you, but development if you want it resides with you. You have to be proactive. HR is rolling out more initiatives to upskill people who need it and offer other resources for employees looking to grow. It’s there if you pursue it.
Yes, no tech training allowed for development. Instead "soft skills" training or DEI initiatives.
"Do it on your own time" is what we have been told.
Maybe check with your Unit Manager. Isn't it their job to help you develop your career? If not just what do they do?
That is not my experience there are many classes one can take some are good some are not
When have HCSC invest in their employee. My time here they hire from outside to do the work, mostly offshore
There's a whole development week planned starting June 24th.
