The Evolution of L&D

There have been many factors affecting Learning and Development over the last 12 months, the most obvious being the instant impact COVID-19 has had on how organisations deliver learning.

But what have been the long-term effects of this and how have learners’ expectations changed in terms of what they now want from their experience? We surveyed over 2,000 learners to help us answer some of these questions, and more.

The learner should come first

Learning and development should be at the core of all organisations and at the forefront of employee development. Not only is it essential in helping your people thrive but successful L&D programmes can promote positive employee retention, increase workplace engagement and empower employees.

Organisations need to put the learner at the heart of everything they do. The journey starts with learners' needs, which are then aligned to business goals to create a compelling learning and development programme.

We recently surveyed over 2,000 learners on their expectations around learning, which gave us the insights needed to understand what learners actually need from a learning experience. The result is three reports, the first of which focuses on how organisations should be investing in creating training that suits the learner.
