This fall, we partnered with TalentLMS on a new survey that uncovered what kinds of training most American employees are getting now, what they’re most hungry for in 2024—and what might be at stake if your company doesn’t deliver.
In our next webinar, four forward-thinking L&D execs will join us for a roundtable discussion to unpack the survey results and share their advice for L&D teams looking to make an impact this year. We’ll discuss employees’ appetite for AI-related training, learner engagement strategies, the most efficient ways to upskill your workforce at scale—and more.
Join us to get L&D expert insights for retaining your best people next year and beyond.
What you’ll learn:
- What 1,000 U.S. employees had to say about the training their employer offered and what they’d like to see more of in 2024
- How this panel of L&D execs interprets the survey results and what they think companies should prioritize to address pressing learning challenges like distracted learners, upskilling at scale, and shifting governance models
- The steps these leaders think L&D teams can take right now to make a bigger business impact in 2024
