Corporate L&D functions have adapted hugely to the needs of a largely entirely remote workforce over the last two or three years. Now, as the UK enters a significant time of uncertainty, the ask of L&D has become even greater. There are several reasons for this: the UK is entering a recession and businesses are concerned about their futures. Employees are worried about the cost of living and looking for ways to maximise salary potential and job satisfaction. Add to the mix the changing ways of working, and it’s easy to see that we need to ‘humanise’ work – putting people at the heart of the way we do things. L&D plays a key role in developing and upskilling your workforce. It has the exciting opportunity to lead the way in evolving the way your organisation works, towards a more progressive and inclusive 'future of work' reality, and in so doing, helping you retain your best people and attract new talent, and in helping it to retain your best people and attract new talent.
