The Mindtools L&D Podcast 404 — We're all too busy for your L&D
According to a recent study from Ipsos, and commissioned by Amazon, 86% of respondents said that career development is essential, very or fairly important to them. But, in our experience, it tends to become a lot less important when the day-to-day demands of work crop up.
So, in this week’s episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, return guest Neil John Cunningham from Align Learn Do joins Ross G to ask why this is, and what to do about it.
We discuss:
-
How to build the credibility of your L&D function
-
The extent to which marketing L&D works
-
What to do about a ‘disjointed’ L&D offering.

In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Ross discussed the Lokiceratops Rangiformis.
