The L&D tightrope: how to balance business goals with today’s employee needs.
Join Beth Chudley and Tom Griffiths, Learning Consultancy Leads at Sponge, as they explore a pressing challenge in today's modern workplace: the tension between business demands for increased productivity and ROI versus employees' desires for better work-life balance and meaningful development opportunities.
In this webinar, Tom and Beth will draw on their experience working with global organisations to guide you through:
- Real-world examples illustrating the successful implementation of this balanced strategy.
- An examination of current workplace challenges and employee wellbeing trends, backed by emergent research and industry insights.
- An exploration of the tensions between business objectives and employee expectations in learning and development – and the opportunities found in addressing these contradictions.
- How Sponge's “3E” strategy can be used as a versatile framework for addressing both organisational and individual needs.
- Demonstrations of how this strategic approach can deliver more business value while simultaneously fostering stronger EVP enrichment.
- How you can influence your learning culture, and make it more collaborative and impactful, considering pressures that employees feel in and out of the workplace.
By the end of this session, you'll gain a fresh perspective on crafting an L&D strategy that not only drives business performance but also also creates transformative value to the core employee value proposition. Tom and Beth will show you how to transform the people-performance paradox into a powerful catalyst for organisational growth and employee fulfilment.
This webinar is ideal for L&D leaders, HR professionals, and business executives looking to maximise the impact of their learning initiatives in today's complex work environment. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Sponge's expertise and develop a more strategic approach to L&D.
