Indonesia’s economy is thriving — with Bank Indonesia projecting ≈ 5 % growth in 2025. But while businesses expand their footprint, many forget to expand their people. True growth happens only when companies and employees evolve together.

📈 People Growth Drives Business Growth

PwC Indonesia’s 2024 CEO Survey shows 82 % of leaders believe talent capability is their biggest growth factor — but only 41 % have a structured plan to develop it.LinkedIn APAC found employees are 2.5 × more likely to stay when they see a path to grow. Retention isn’t a perk — it’s a strategy.

🧠 Adaptability Is the New Currency

By 2030 Indonesia will have 210 million working-age citizens, but half will need upskilling to stay relevant. Kemnaker (2024): 50 % of companies plan reskilling initiatives. McKinsey Indonesia: reskilling improves productivity 3× and retention 20 %.The future belongs to companies that help their people learn faster than the market changes.

🌾 Growth Is a Shared Journey

In sectors like food distribution and manufacturing, businesses where employees “feel part of the growth story” see 25 % higher performance (Jakarta HR Outlook 2024). Empowered employees don’t just work better — they lead better.
