Doing the same thing for years on end doesn’t offer much opportunity for growth—and it quickly gets boring. Jeri Rosenberg, corporate HR director at CASSIA, knows how important balance is when making career decisions. On one hand, we all have skills and abilities that set us apart—and that’s great! But on the other hand, it’s important to stretch ourselves, get out of our comfort zone, and use our skills to do new things.

In this episode of the HR Mavericks podcast, we talk about:

• Why people resist branching out in their careers

• How to transition our existing skills to new roles

• Utilizing transferable skills to help your company thrive

• Why organizations benefit from hiring people with diverse skill sets

• Ways to refresh your skills and gain new ones
