Employees seek leadership development—but access gaps may hold them back, new report finds
InStride's 2025 Talent Priorities Report reveals strong mid-career demand for leadership growth LOS ANGELES, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InStride's newly released 2025 Talent Priorities Report reveals that employees are ready to grow into leadership roles, but employers may be overlooking what's required to support that growth. In the national survey, 90% of employees expressed interest in leadership development. Among those who expressed strong interest, mid-career professionals (29–44) made up the largest out of three HR leaders surveyed also indicated that leadership development is a top focus—suggesting alignment in principle, if not yet in practice. A disconnect between talent gaps and access gaps Despite this widespread enthusiasm for growth, the report uncovers a disconnect between HR priorities and employee needs. HR leaders are focused on solving talent gaps through retention, attraction, and upskilling, while employees point to access gaps, especially education, as the key to unlocking their growth. In fact, 78% of employees say they'd be more likely to pursue learning if tuition were paid upfront. Lauren King, Vice President of Talent Strategy and Workforce Development at Novant Health, remarked on the report's findings: 'You can't use the word gap unless you're willing to build a bridge.' Additional findings from the 2025 Talent Priorities Report Beyond demand for leadership development and disconnect between access and talent priorities, the report surfaced three other key findings shaping talent strategy in 2025: Education drives loyalty61% of employees say education benefits make them more likely to stay, and 65% say they influence where they apply. HR leaders, meanwhile, rank retention, attraction, and upskilling as their biggest talent challenges. Appetite for AI is widespread71% of employees are focused on growing AI skills through education, and 54% of HR leaders are looking for AI-powered education solutions. Skills-first approaches matterBoth groups value job-aligned skills, whether gained through degrees or short-term credentials. Certification interest jumped from 28% to 34% year-over-year. Report insights spark discussion on next steps for employers The 2025 Talent Priorities Report draws from two national surveys conducted in early 2025: one of 1,000+ employees and another of 100+ HR and L&D leaders across industries. InStride, a leading provider of strategic education and skilling solutions, gave an early look at the findings at the company's annual IMPACT summit in a panel featuring speakers from Novant Health and the Aspen Institute's UpSkill America initiative, moderated by Nick Greif, InStride Vice President of Corporate Partnerships and External Affairs. 'Talent gaps and access gaps are often two sides of the same coin,' said Greif. 'When 78% of employees say they'd be more likely to pursue education if their employer paid tuition upfront, that's a signal of interest and a call to action. However, most employers put up barriers like reimbursement schemes, clawbacks, and grade requirements that reduce the exact employee outcomes they are seeking. The good news is, solving for access is one of the clearest steps employers can take to unlock talent.'

Nursing students could get debt relief from Boston startup Clasp
The company arranges loans for students studying to become nurses, physical therapists, optometrists, and other medical roles. Clasp matches each student borrower with an employer who agrees to hire the student after graduation. The employer also agrees to pay back a portion of the student's loans in return for a commitment of two to three years of work. The result is more workers for participating employers and a reduced debt burden for their workers, according to Clasp chief executive Tess Michaels. Advertisement The company announced on Wednesday that health care providers including Boston Children's Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York, and multi-state network Novant Health would participate in the program. The idea for Clasp, which changed its name from Stride Funding last year, germinated while Michaels attended Harvard Business School. Pondering her own tuition costs and asking around, Michaels said she had an 'a-ha' moment. 'What if you could actually tie the cost of education to the outcomes [and] connect the education to the employment,' she said. Advertisement Michaels has raised $30 million of venture capital backing and struck a deal this year with financial lenders to loan $75 million to students. Unlike most other private student loan programs, Clasp's loans don't require a co-signer. Since the company was founded in 2018, more than 10,000 students have gotten loans through its platform, Michaels said. The company makes money from fees it charges participating institutions, but Clasp does not charge students or receive fees on loans. Some prior employment and loan repayment programs foundered because they included penalties if a worker decided to leave a job before their commitment was up, according to George Washington University professor Patricia Pittman, who studies health care workforce issues. Clasp's agreements don't have penalties or allow employers to claw back prior payments. Employers also can't reduce a promised salary or cut benefits. If a worker leaves before the end of their commitment, they face only the loss of future loan repayments. Claw-backs and other harsh repayment provisions are 'potentially exploitative' if workers are financially penalized for leaving early, Pittman said. 'Without the ability to quit, employers have fewer incentives to create healthy, ethical working conditions,' she said. 'The use of these contract breach fees is common with internationally recruited nurses and has led to many abuses as well as below-market wages.' Solving worker shortages will require more worker-friendly terms, Michaels said. 'In order to make a workforce sustainable, you've got to think about how you build trust and loyalty,' she said. North Carolina-based Novant Health started working with Clasp to recruit nurse anesthetists. The goal was to hire nurses for hard-to-fill positions and reduce turnover. 'The workforce of tomorrow depends on how we support students today,' Sebastien Girard, Novant's chief people officer, said in a statement. 'By relieving financial burden upfront, we're building loyalty from day one.' Advertisement The overall shortage of health care workers is getting worse as a growing aging population requires more care and workers from the Baby Boom generation retire. By 2035, the US system faces a shortage of more than 230,000 registered nurses and almost 270,000 licensed practical nurses, according to In Massachusetts, the Michaels wants Clasp to provide a model for the industry to become more creative and generous in recruiting the workers it needs. 'Part of my mission is to reimagine how we think about investing in talent,' she said. 'That just requires a shifting mindset of what is the art of the possible.' Aaron Pressman can be reached at

Novant Health to construct hospital in South Carolina, US
Novant Health's Certificate of Need application has received approval from the South Carolina Department of Public Health for the construction of a new 20-bed hospital in Greenville, US. The planned facility is set to be outpatient-focused, offering a variety of services to address the community's increasing healthcare requirements while enhancing access to cost-effective care. The hospital is designed to encompass operating rooms, speciality services and diagnostic imaging, with the capability to expand in response to future healthcare demands. Novant Health senior vice-president Jason Bernd said: 'As one of the fastest-growing areas in the state, Greenville deserves expanded access to high-quality care close to home. This new hospital will allow us to deliver on that promise for patients who live in Greenville and the surrounding communities.' With the hospital project, Novant Health aims to bolster its footprint in South Carolina through the construction of new facilities, the recruitment of medical experts, and the provision of patient-centric care. Additionally, the nonprofit health system will be able to further extend its services, ensuring they are customised to meet the specific requirements of each community. This encompasses comprehensive care coordination throughout the region. Novant Health operates urgent care centres in South Carolina, in addition to owning hospitals and practices along the coast. In April, Ryan Lee was appointed as the president of Novant Health's Greenville area operations. Last September, Novant Health initiated the establishment of a new full-service hospital campus in Bluffton, South Carolina. The health system is a network comprising around 900 locations, which encompasses 19 hospitals, more than 750 physician clinics, urgent care centres, and outpatient facilities, as well as pharmacy and imaging services.
