The infographic summarizes key findings from a survey on training trends and talent development practices: - Median annual training spend per employee has increased to £350 but budgets remain tight, with few organizations planning to increase funding. - Employers are choosing cost-effective options like on-the-job training, coaching by line managers, and internal knowledge sharing over external training. - While many organizations have talent management activities, only about half rate them as effective.
