1. EMPLOYEE LEARNING TRENDS
This case flyer and the accompanying article1
enable a discussion on the intriguing concept of
individual learning and development. It provides a platform to debate on the relationship between
employee engagement and employee productivity. The contemporary corporate scenario has
witnessed a rise in the need for designing and implementing effective learning tools and techniques
for employees across all levels. Organizations have realized that this is by no means an easy feat
to attain given that these learning programs must be designed to ensure a consistently high
employee engagement. How can highly engaging learning programs be designed and
implemented? What measures must be taken to ensure employee engagement? Who is responsible
for ensuring employee engagement? An interesting trend has been the increase in the Learning
& Development (L&D) budgets in Indian organizations, especially over the past 2 years.
Nevertheless, these L&D budgets must be worked out to not only meet the diverse needs of
the learners but to also meet the strategic business objectives. How can the Return On Investment
(ROI) on employees’ learning investments be measured? Should companies be mandated to
allocate budgets to meet the L&D requirements?
