Use Cases For L&D Professionals

A New Approach To Creating A Learning Culture

Learning & Development (L&D) professionals are currently facing a range of challenges in their organizations including retention planning, succession planning, addressing diverse learning needs, and creating a culture of learning. As a result, finding innovative solutions that address these challenges while balancing the needs of the organization is always top of mind.

Challenge – Retention Planning

Attracting top talent is great, but only half the battle. Now you have to work on getting them to stay with the company long-term. For L&D Professionals, this means having a retention plan to keep these employees both engaged and motivated. According to the Work Institute’s 2018 Retention Report:

Challenge – Succession Planning

As a new generation enters the workforce, and an older one prepares to retire, L&D professionals are constantly planning for the multi-generational transition. Companies who aren’t prepared to fill roles quickly or secure internal knowledge become even more at risk from changes that could potentially stunt the business growth.

Challenge – Addressing Diverse Learning Needs

Every employee is different when it comes to how they like to learn. Some prefer traditional classroom or group based learning, while others prefer to work on their own time and at their own pace. For global companies, there may also be cultural or language barriers that make an impact on the diversity of learning styles. L&D professionals often have difficulty catering to these diverse needs and struggle with designing training programs that work for everyone. Failure to address diverse learning needs can result in disengaged employees and reduced training effectiveness.

Challenge – Creating A Culture Of Learning & Coaching

When it comes to creating a culture of learning & coaching in the workplace, L&D professionals often face various roadblocks such as employees’ resistance to change, lack of time, limited resources, inadequate leadership support, and low engagement.
