        Strengthening human capital
        and sustainability initiatives
        The challenges of retiring expertise
        and high staff turnover pose a threat
        to critical institutional knowledge.
        Organisations are actively
        addressing this by developing
        structured learning paths, leveraging
        mobile-first training solutions, and
        promoting internal mentorship
        programs. Furthermore, embedding
        coaching and mentorship into daily
        operations ensures sustained skill
        development, turning theoretical
        knowledge into practical expertise.
        In parallel, the Environmental, Social,
        and Governance (ESG) sustainability
        agenda is becoming an integral
        part of maintenance strategy.
        Engineers now lead initiatives
        such as emissions monitoring,
        resource-efficient technologies,
        and the implementation of circular
        economy principles, playing a
        pivotal role in achieving global
        sustainability objectives.
