The SA Board of People Practices - People Factor 2022 - The future of work and ever-growing importance of L&D

Snapshot 

• Learning is no longer only a retention measurement, but overtime has become key in realizing business strategy. 
• In the future of work, L&D is about building a culture of continuous learning throughout the organization. 
• L&D will need to undergo a significant transformation to successfully reimagine learning.
  

In the current edge of constant change and scarcity, the disruptive workforce landscape requires organisations to largely restructure the way they are doing work, which has a significant impact on the capabilities that business leaders expect from their people.

For these reasons, workforce roles will change and so do the skills needed to perform them.
