When it comes to how we learn at work, we\u2019ve got work to do. In the L&D industry, we still don\u2019t have a total understanding of the return on investment (ROI) on learning. Our latest research<\/a> changes that and shows that the businesses with positive learning cultures have healthier, more engaged, better performing and more adaptable workforces. That\u2019s a lot of \u201cmore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engagement Is at Risk <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the moment we\u2019ve been waiting for in L&D. Investing in learning is more important now than ever. According to the World Economic Forum, 54% of the world\u2019s workforce<\/a> will need significant \u201cupskilling\u201d or \u201creskilling\u201d over the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s just one problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional approaches to learning and development aren\u2019t working so well for the workforce. Employee engagement is at risk \u2014 with 85% of global employees either not engaged or actively disengaged<\/a> at work. But don\u2019t be discouraged, look at this as an opportunity for your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to make sure your people and business have the skills they need to grow and adapt whenever the next opportunity pops up. But as of right now, they don\u2019t. Nearly 8-in-10 CEOs tell PwC a lack of key skills is threatening their businesses\u2019 growth prospects. Meanwhile, Gartner research shows only 20% of workers are confident they have the skills they need for their future careers. What does that mean for you? It\u2019s time to shift your perspective on learning and development.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manually curating content and keeping up with ever-changing trends while finding content that works for everyone is unfeasible. How can you change this? Take a look at Visa. The payments processing powerhouse maximized the ROI on learning<\/a> by shifting to a culture of continuous learning driven by digital learning. Through APIs and technical integrations, the learning team minimized duplicating content<\/a> and increased efficiency.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L&D of the Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are not just statistics. They\u2019re real people and real businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid disruptions, business and HR leaders are increasingly looking to build cultures that encourage continuous, lifelong learning<\/a>. And the next big step in fueling those cultures is integrating learning with work<\/a>. The thing is, you can\u2019t build or sustain a learning culture if you don\u2019t understand how your workforce behaves and what they value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Leaders<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our recent research<\/a> found that workers need and more importantly want guidance, diverse experiences, feedback and insights, and experiential learning opportunities. With our fast-paced world, it\u2019s vital to invest in your people and create the right conditions for learning<\/em>. In short, our research shows that the business value and ROI on learning is critical to success. And the future of L&D in an organization<\/a> is crucial to determining how to get there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Return on Investment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As with any good business decision, it\u2019s important to look at the ROI. So, what\u2019s the ROI on learning? Our data shows that businesses with positive learning cultures have more engaged, better performing and more adaptable workforces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
