Follow on Google News | Survey identifies top challenges for L&D teamsTraining and talent professionals need to support eight specific business challenges if they want to make a strategic contribution to their organisations, according to a new survey by learning specialist Hemsley Fraser.
By: Hemsley Fraser 1. Deal with change. The number of organisational changes occurring - for example mergers & acquisitions and new hardware/software installations - is increasing and so is the speed of change. Individual employees will also need support if they are to develop the resilience to withstand changes in their own roles. 2. Serve global, virtual or geographically- 3. Do more with less. This challenge can stem from internal constraints - such as lower staff numbers or reduced budgets - or from external constraints, such as the demand from customers for increasingly low-cost options. 4. Get the buy-in for learning from leaders. When leaders have to make tough decisions on mission-related activities, training and talent professionals need to ensure that learning remains a top priority and that the organisation continues to invest in its learning infrastructure. 5. Deliver ‘bite-sized’ 6. Engage employees. Training and talent professionals not only have to ensure that learners have the appetite to attend training, amidst competing priorities, they also need to keep learners thoroughly engaged through all aspects of the learning experience. 7. Develop leaders. The challenges here are to help leaders understand the need for their own development and also to instil effective leadership behaviour. 8. Support business development. Provide the breadth and depth of skills needed to help the organisation survive and grow. Todd Turner, Chief Executive Officer of Hemsley Fraser, said: “Training and talent professionals will be able to make a strategic impact if they can effectively respond to these eight business challenges. These are the areas where organisations need support, so best practice is to allocate the necessary time and resources to tackle these priorities.” Hemsley Fraser has uploaded free guidelines and links to relevant content for each business challenge onto its ThingLink channel (https://www.thinglink.com/ Background notes: Founded in 1991, Hemsley Fraser is a market leading provider of in-company and customised learning programmes, consulting services, open training courses and managed learning services.
