Over the past weeks, Antigoni Paouni, our Corporate Relations Officer, has been engaging (and continues to do so) with many members of our L&D Studio community to identify the key L&D issues that challenge them the most.
It turned out that our fellow L&D and HR professionals are concerned with a wide range of issues on L&D, covering almost the whole spectrum of people development challenges.
Here are the issues identified by the L&D studio members:
1. Dealing with change – L&D for resilience
2. Building and managing startup culture – L&D for stronger culture
3. Boosting performance – Setting up effective performance systems and L&D to enhance your people’s performance
4. The impact of L&D on people’s behaviour – How L&D can achieve behavioural change and a lasting effect (by embracing behavioural science)
5. Feedback & feedback culture – L&D to establish effective feedback
6. Conflict management – Practices and L&D to manage and resolve conflicts
7. Talent management – How can L&D support talent development
8. Leadership development – Effective L&D practices to boost leadership

11. Business acumen – Which L&D initiatives can help build and/or boost your people’s business acumen
12. Retention – How L&D can contribute to retention and how retention challenges undermine L&D
13. L&D for technical & engineering personnel in manufacturing enterprises
14. Evaluating L&D – What do we evaluate (metrics), & how (methods, tools)
15. Upskilling practices – How to apply wide-ranging initiatives to improve several skillsets of your people

17. Personalisation in L&D – When L&D design is tailored to the particularities of individuals
18. DEI - Policies & DEI empowerment
