Career, Community & Connection
We've reviewed the LinkedIn 2023 Workplace Learning Report and here are some of our key takeaways for L&D professionals.
Career
Giving people an opportunity to learn
According to the report, only 26% of employees say their organisations challenged them to learn a new skill. But how we develop talent needs a major overhaul. Many businesses find their established methods simply aren’t cutting it anymore. Organisations need talent development that is responsive to very different business needs, and can cope with the uncertainty and pace of today’s business environment. Promotions aren't the only path to career progress.
Community
Diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging
41% of organisations use DE&I programmes to improve employee retention. Individuals, teams and departments play a critical role in ensuring that DEI&B is effectively delivered through learning initiatives. However, a lot of organisations run isolated training events, which feedback has shown, lacks authenticity, sustainability and impact.
Connection
Equipping managers with the skills they need
Unsurprisingly, management human skills remains the number one priority for organisations in the hybrid world. Leaders and managers are at the centre of this evolving hybrid work landscape. Not only will they have to deliver and manage the above but they will also have to focus on their own capabilities and wellbeing as new hybrid-underwritten challenges arise. But what do they need to be equipped with to have a positive impact?
