Organizations today are in dire need of Learning and Development Specialists

The growth trajectory of an organization depends on the skilled workforce. Learning and Development (L&D) professionals have major roles to play in developing the employees in alignment with the business goals. But in India L&D is still a nascent industry but there has been a steady demand for trained L&D professionals. According to a research, India is poised to become one of the largest economies globally by the year 2030 and this will automatically bolster the need to accelerate L&D in an increasingly competitive business arena. Employees must be engaged in continuous learning opportunities that take place over a period of time with a focus on productivity.

The workforce must learn new things and keep up with new developments. Organizations must have a long-term vision and strategic plan for L&D as frequent changes in the global business scenario have a ripple effect on the skills of the employees. Organizations are turning to training to build loyalty among employees and increasing their focus on employee development programs to lower attrition rates. And given the situation most companies are turning to e-learning as an efficient and cost-effective tool for organizational learning. Trainers who can refine the skill-sets for employees are much in demand leading to the fact that training professionals have to take a proactive role in designing and developing training sessions and they have to be adept at delivering training on virtual platforms and in face-to-face classrooms that improve employee performance. So those having the gift of the gab and knack for teaching can expect varied career pathways as training roles are constantly evolving and bringing in new opportunities.
