L&D shorfall | 50% of staff not trained to cope with hybrid working

A new study has outlined how organisations need to better support their employees as some begin to return to their on-site workplaces, while others continue to work remotely.

Lane4’s study of over 1,000 British workers, conducted in unison with YouGov, has revealed that there are gaps in the training offered, what skills employees need from their managers right now and the skills that different generations expect their managers to display, with the research finding that nearly a third of British employees (29%) receive no professional training at all. 

When asked if the training employees receive at work contributes to their professional progress in a hybrid working environment, almost half either don’t receive training at all, or felt like the training they received wasn’t useful for hybrid working.

This is something many employers will need to address in the coming weeks, as many businesses move to a hybrid working model.
