New Research: What Learners Want Most in 2023 [Infographic]

Learning & Development

When it comes to hiring, employers spend a good bit of time learning and understanding what their candidates are looking for. We want to make sure our organizations are appealing and attractive. However, I’ve found that on the learning side, we’re a little less proactive. We don’t always have or gather information about what our learners need or want, which is a missed opportunity.

In our brand new research on learning and talent development, we looked at some of the key areas where learner priorities are shifting and evolving. The graphic below brings some of those key points to the forefront, For example:

  • Workers rate the training you give them on how it impacts their performance and skill growth. If it’s not doing either of those things, they tune it out.
  • The way workers feel about your company’s future tells us what kind of training they will take. Check out the infographic below for more on this.
  • Talent development is increasingly used not just as a retention tool, but as one to attract high-quality talent as well.
