Do you need to modernise your L&D?

Do you need to modernise your L&D?

Businesses across all sectors are constantly looking for new ways to provide their products or services better, faster and cheaper. They recognise that the expectations of customers have changed. Yet, many of the same organisations persist in providing out-dated training, not realising that the expectations of their own staff have changed too. It‘s time to rethink how you can use learning not only to enhance employee engagement but to drive the performance of the business.

Over the past five years, learning has become more immediate, more experiential and more ‘social’. It is now recognised as a key catalyst for, and an enabler of, change - a Board-driven priority which contributes to organisational success. Today’s learning is shaped by learners, accessed in shorter blocks of time and more directly connected to work applications.

More L&D teams are now responding to the changing expectations of learners. Modernising your L&D provision means exploring new ways in which learning can be delivered, developing new working practices and driving the vision for successful learning in your organisation.

One way forward is managed learning - working with an external specialist to help up-lift, support and manage your learning initiatives, adding new energy and expertise just where it’s needed. This is a popular option not only because it relieves the pressure on L&D teams - freeing you up to work on ‘value-add’ strategic initiatives - but also, perhaps more importantly, because it meets the needs of learners - and those of the business.

Managed learning takes away the pain of training administration, so you can focus on what you’re best at. Whether you want to improve the learning experience for your employees; get support for issues or challenges such as your learning strategy, supplier management and vendor rationalisation, admin, logistics or metrics - or if you just want to be able to access innovative learning content, managed learning is flexible enough to suit your requirements.

“The end result will be happier and more engaged staff, improved talent management, stronger retention and accelerated business performance,” said Sally Hurrell, Global Managed Learning Service Director at Hemsley Fraser. “The service even pays for itself. One large engineering client of ours saved over £12m by partnering with us.”

She adds: “At Hemsley Fraser, we work very closely with our managed learning clients to deliver the right learning in the most appropriate format, to support employees wherever they are and whatever their role, putting learning at the centre of everything we do to improve the user experience.”

To provide individuals and organisations with an even greater choice of learning approaches, Hemsley Fraser has now created a digital hub of on/demand and expert-led learning content covering the top 100 topics for learning in the workplace. These assets include ‘how to/how not to’ videos, ‘five-step’ micro-topic videos/animations, interactive online books, quizzes and infographics, all of which can be branded and personalised for clients.
