This puts pressure on employees to perform in work and situations which they are not comfortable and in which they have no particular desire to develop. In my opinion, employers should instead gain an understanding of employees' personal skills and preferences and should then allocate work in accordance with these findings. This would then motivate employees, give them more pleasure in the work while also utilising their individual skills to produce the best results.
