UK workplaces failing to create strong learning cultures

UK workplaces are failing to create a strong learning culture, despite seven in ten workers (70%) stating that development opportunities are a decisive factor in choosing where to work.

This is according to new research from Bridge in collaboration with Two Heads Consulting, which surveyed 500 employees and 200 senior HR and L&D professionals about their attitudes towards learning and development.

The researchers found that most businesses in the UK are struggling to engender a culture that prioritises learning and development, with only 25% of HR staff reporting that their organisations have a learning culture.

In comparison, three quarters of companies don’t have one at all (11%), are still trying to establish one (59%) or report it is not a priority (five per cent).
