2025 Q3 L&D Insights
Equip yourself with the latest industry trends and best practices. Our quarterly L&D newsletter delivers thought leadership articles, explores hot topics, and includes curated resources from Hemsley and the L&D Industry.
Q3 Market Research Report
We’ve pulled together a new research roundup to help you stay ahead of the trends shaping learning and employee experience.
Drawing on reports from leading organisations, this resource highlights key insights on learning trends, the employee experience, and the impact of AI in the workplace.
It’s not an official Hemsley report - just a practical, time-saving guide for our clients.
What we're hearing
As the year ends, AI enthusiasm in L&D is still strong but becoming more realistic. Clients are facing real challenges turning hype into value:
- Hype is cooling: L&D teams are now focused on proving real impact.
- Vendor overload: Every provider claims an AI solution, but most fall short - and buyers lack clarity.
- Language confusion: Terms like automation, AI assistants, and agentic AI are used inconsistently.
- Rollout struggles: Copilot implementations are stalling—partly due to change fatigue or job security fears.
- Hard to find value: Many don’t know where to start to realize tangible business benefits.

How should leaders navigate uncertainty?
In an increasingly uncertain world, we need to embrace uncertainty, rather than shy away. But how?
The smartest leaders learn to tolerate the uncertainty, provide a healthy blend of stability and agility for their teams, and adopt productive strategies to move forward. In other words, they embrace rather than resist.
