More than half of L&D pros foresee demise of in-person corporate learning, survey finds — from hrdive.com by Ryan Golden

Dive Brief:

  • Learning and development leaders increasingly see online and hybrid learning models as a permanent fixture in the talent space rather than a temporary trend, according to a survey of 515 L&D leaders at North American and European corporations by NovoEd.
  • Per the company’s survey, 83% of respondents said that hybrid work would force organizations to rethink and redesign corporate L&D offerings. Additionally, more than half said that they agreed with the sentiment that the growth of remote learning would “lead to the demise” of brick and mortar corporate learning.
  • As their organizations increase investment in the space, most L&D leaders said they would evaluate their programs by emphasizing metrics such as improvement in job performance; improvement in knowledge and competency; and application and implementation of learning.
