The Role of Human Resources in Learning and Development

Audio:

 

Learning and Development plays a vital role in the continued growth, profitability, and overall success of organizations. More than ever, human resources professionals are struggling to recruit and hire suitable candidates for job openings due to increased competition, a lack of qualified candidates, and a lack of the necessary technical or soft skills to perform effectively in the role. Currently, the demand for highly skilled workers exceeds the available talent creating a significant talent shortage. This shortage is requiring organizational leaders to rely on non-traditional and creative ways to lessen the impact of the skills gap and talent shortage on their bottom line. Developing and implementing career development and learning opportunities within the organization is a way to remain competitive while promoting employee engagement, increasing employee retention, and motivating employees to achieve organizational goals and objectives.

Team Building for Managers

Your organization’s people are its greatest asset, and when they work together as a team they accomplish even more. But teamwork doesn’t just happen. Teams have to be created, developed, and continuously nurtured. A solid team building strategy can create an environment of greater collaboration and collegiality, which is good not only for the bottom line for your people themselves. There are many different ways to build a team, and to continue fostering a sense of teamwork. Developing a diverse team building tool kit helps your people grow at every stage.
