Many organizations responded to the global pandemic by adopting digital technologies that enabled different ways of working. This sudden, unanticipated change has created opportunities for L&D, but it's also posed challenges.

This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross D is joined by Owen and Anna to dive into this year's L&D Benchmark Report: 'Is your learning culture keeping pace with rapid digitalization?' They discuss:

the history of the Annual L&D Benchmark Report, and its relationship to our Learning Performance Benchmark
the emergence of culture and digitalization as the key themes of this year's report, and what this tells us about the state of L&D
the characteristics of top-performing organizations, and what we can learn from them
practical advice for applying the report's findings.
