It’s time to get strategic and tackle time pressured learning

We keep hearing how a ‘lack of time’ is impacting employees’ engagement with learning – but is that really the whole story and what are the best organisations doing to tackle this important and growing issue?

  • The #1 reason employees feel held back from learning is lack of time.
  • Asking whether people are truly busier now (or not) misses the point – people feel it, believe they are, and know it won’t get better on its own.
  • Continual learning is more important than ever – the half-life of skills is now less than 5 years (LSE) creating short and longer terms skills gaps.
  • ‘Busyness’ is a cultural and leadership issue. Are your leaders part of the problem?
  • It’s time to get strategic and break the cycle – innovating to boost time and impact
