4 Key Elements Influencing The Shape Of Learning & Development For The Enterprise

Thought Leader Suzanne McCall On The Future of L&D

PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA, May 31, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Enterprise learning and development programs are undergoing transformative change as the business world emerges from the pandemic. According to Suzanne McCall, Senior Learning and Development Consultant at Pinnacle Group, “Technology, the pandemic and the hybrid workplace environment have dramatically altered enterprise learning and development over the past two years. Now that we are emerging

post-pandemic, the “new normal” is about to change again. The L&D program of the future will be the one that adapts to the hybrid workplace culture, while achieving the corporate mission.”

McCall lists four key influences on enterprise L&D concept and structure in the future:

1) The work-from-home mindset is where employees have a

greater role in managing their own time. Future accessibility to L&D

will be more flexible, where engagement will be according to the

employee’s own scheduling.

2) The influence of social media and its short attention span will

cause smaller, more frequent learning sessions to be developed.

3) The influence of “the great resignation” will make companies work harder

to make each employee feel valued and connected to the enterprise.

For L&D, this will result in the creation of individualized programs, in

collaboration with an assigned L&D professional, to guide each employee

along a customized career and learning path.

4) The influence of “the great resignation” will also enhance the value

of learning and development as an employee benefit, to be branded as

an exceptional and exclusive benefit from that company. To augment

its perceived value, the employee will have more options for learning

that they can select on their own.

McCall notes that the status of L&D within the organization will evolve too. She says, “As disruptive as the pandemic has been, it has shown corporate leadership the need to prioritize upskilling, reskilling and employee well-being because of the degree it contributes to the success of the enterprise.”

She wouldn’t be surprised if going forward, L&D came out from under the wing of HR as its own section directed by corporate leadership.

Notes McCall, “Companies that nurture a culture of education will thrive in the future.
