The big thought

Does your organisation understand the real value of its L&D function and do you realise how big an impact your learning offer has on the full talent lifecycle?In my opinion, L&D has a pivotal role to play in the 3 areas of recruitment/attraction, enabling people to build their skills and behaviours, developing their capability to deliver on business goals and finally retention.I believe we need to look beyond Learning & Development teams just being about building the capability of our people.Whilst it is most certainly responsible for enabling people to build the skills and behaviours they need to deliver for a business, it can do and does provide a lot more too.Let me unpack this in more detail for you.

The impact that I’m suggesting L&D has is far beyond just building the capability of a workforce.

I believe L&D teams have the ability to empower, challenge, attract and retain top talent for any business.

I’ve been involved in all 3 areas of recruiting, developing and trying to retain talent over my career. What I’ve come to find in my time more specifically in L&D, is just how underutilised the opportunities that your learning offer can bring to the process of attracting talent and keeping it there are realised.My aim with this thought is to demonstrate how HR or now commonly called the people world is more connected than we think.Let’s explore all 3 of these areas to understand how L&D can support each and how these areas can form a connected people experience to support the end to end process of talent management.
