Business Priority Trends in the Top 200
The 2022 list has seen some clear trends and growth sectors emerging for Derbyshire, including decarbonisation and clean growth tech, digital, and services more broadly.
Through the last few turbulent years, including Brexit and Covid-19, businesses have had to innovate more, often with what they’ve got: their people, processes, and business models.
Upskilling or reskilling their staff has been an important part of this because roles are constantly evolving - particularly now, as we find ourselves in a digital and clean growth revolution. Businesses increasingly need this training and learning to be flexible, so we're seeing the rise of online or flexible learning and micro-credentials: essentially, bite-sized chunks of education.
Many of the businesses that have performed well in this year's Top 200 have prioritised skills development.
