Latest L&D Survey Shows A Hands-On Learning Culture Emerging
The way in which we learn at work is evolving, and there’s a growing shift towards creating a hands-on learning culture, with internal knowledge-sharing initiatives such as job shadowing and social learning becoming increasingly commonplace, according to a new survey of L&D professionals by the CIPD.
The 17th annual Learning & Development Survey from the CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development, found that coaching by line managers or peers was the method of learning most likely to grow in use in organisations over the next two years, according to almost two-thirds (65%) of respondents. Over half (53%) of respondents expected to see the use of in-house development programmes increase, and on-the-job training (48%) and internal knowledge sharing events (46%) are also expected to become more prevalent.
Organisations are increasingly using technology to support learning and development. After coaching by line mangers or peers, e-learning courses were the second most favoured learning technique, with 59% of L&D professionals expecting to use these more over the next two years.
Ruth Stuart, Research Adviser for L&D at the CIPD, commented: “Learning and development is continually affected by external factors and the wider organisation, particularly as systems become smarter, new tools and techniques constantly come to the fore and resources ebb and flow. L&D teams face a stimulating and challenging future in meeting organisational and learner requirements in fast-paced and busy environments."
