Personally, I'd like to be given time for continuous learning, rather than having me utilised (at least) 100% all the time.

This would be a win-win, since I can keep my knowledge current and my employer gets someone with skills that our clients want. But instead, all the current management cares about is utilisation figures and overheads.

Unfortunately we see too much of managers worrying about figures and utilization rates. These numbers are not always the best to go by. We like to try and empower each other to implement ways to improve our culture and build a better workplace that can benefit us in many ways. I hope that your company can realize the benefit this can have on the whole companies morale and productivity. Empowering your people to learn and improve helps everyone.
