CIPD - 2012 Learning and Talent Development Survey

Learning and talent development

“When it comes to investing in L&D, it’s critical that organisations understand their people and the learning approaches that suit them best to meet their needs. By doing so, they’ll get the best return on investment as employees will be more engaged in the learning and transfer the skills into their day-to-day activities, which will ultimately support the business and its bottom line."

Vincent Belliveau, General Manager EMEA, Cornerstone OnDemand

Now in its 14th year, our survey continues to take the pulse of current and emerging practice in learning and talent development. This year's survey findings, published in partnership with Cornerstone OnDemand, show that the need to work in a resource-light/challenge-rich environment is becoming a feature of L&TD practice, but so too is the need to focus on new markets, prospects and potential.
