CIPD’s Insight Learning And Development Evolving Practice (Aug 2020) Learning and development (L&D) departments are facing various challenges to ensure they deliver on their organisation’s expectations. Rather than waiting for change to happen, L&D professionals need to be at the heart of change and embrace the opportunities and the challenges it brings.
This factsheet offers ’10 shifts’ in L&D which provide a framework for L&D professionals to measure themselves against to audit their current practice and the overall goal they want to achieve. It allows practitioners to consider gaps, progress, actions and priorities for each. There’re also links to further information within each area.
Creating Learning Cultures: Assessing The Evidence Organisations have had to change where they work, how they work, and even reconsider the services they offer. The ability to learn, adapt and continuously improve in the face of this challenge is vital. To remain relevant in a challenging labour market, organisations need to think strategically about how they invest in and develop their human capital. One way to do this is to create a supportive learning environment where learning is not only embedded but encouraged across every level of the organisation – often described as a learning culture. Our latest research unpacks what learning culture means in practice, and what you can to do to embed a learning environment in your organisation.
