Professional Development

The transformational impact of the pandemic on the way we live and work has highlighted a need for employers to adopt more technology and upskill their workforce to improve productivity and drive growth for professional development.

As a result, organisations are shifting their mindset when it comes to professional development and its importance. According to Linked ln’s Workplace Learning Report 2021, 63% of professionals agree that learning and development should have a seat at the executive table and is a crucial aspect of business growth.

The same can be said for individuals. Linked In data also revealed that 94% of employees said that they would stay at a company longer if there was an investment in their learning and development.

However, despite a renewed interest in learning and professional development, according to the City & Guild’s Annual Skills Index 2021, 30% of workers say they have not received formal workplace training in the last five years.
