Learning and Development (L&D) is a staple of employee benefit packages due to its profound impact on both satisfaction and productivity. In a recent survey, 96% of organisations reported a noticeable improvement in well-being when embracing L&D. It helps employees feel more confident, independent and engaged. It can also foster collaboration between team members and even throughout the organisation. However, in recent years, technology and an increased focus on well-rounded skill sets have revolutionised workplace development. In this blog, we explore the power of L&D when coupled with innovative HR software and technology.
What does learning and development entail?
Workplace development HR initiatives drive employee growth and enhance soft and/or hard skills. This, subsequently, has an impact on team and organisational success. These can include peer mentoring, leadership training or digital learning. It can also include specific certifications and licences employees might need to develop in their careers. At its core, L&D is anything a workplace does to grow the skills and knowledge of its employees.
HR technology in learning and development
The pandemic pushed businesses to improve their software and online systems. This includes L&D, where online learning and app-based training become ever more popular. However, it also brought concerns over the utilisation of tech to the forefront. A 2022 survey found that 84% of employees felt their managers were reluctant to ‘encourage new ways of learning and working’. Organisations can get ahead of the curve by leveraging technology in all aspects of HR, including L&D.
