What the HR Leaders are saying - true or false?

Last week I presented a survey to HR leaders at a HR Summit Melbourne during my presentation 'How to create a compelling learning culture'.

While it was no surprise that people felt work demands were increasing, it did come as a bit of a shock to learn that a massive 93% of people felt there would be little opportunity to alleviate the stress or pressure associated with the extra work. And to top it off, an overwhelming majority felt it was going to be harder than ever to attract staff and keep people happy. And while we are at it let me give you the full monty and tell you that only 2% felt they would have more resources on hand. Wacko! Now that's a slap in the face if you have been doing your best!

But in amongst it all, there was good news. 70% indicated that their teams wanted to learn and continue to develop and it wouldn't necessarily be harder to influence them to attend sessions. Thank heavens.

But that figure will only be a figure and not mean anything if we don't actively do something about it and convert the learning into possibilities.

So how about you?

What are you doing to improve the learning outcomes and opportunities in the workplace?

There is no doubt that we are on the right side of that famous three letter acronym - the GF something or other, and now it is time to reap the rewards of the intellect, talent, and skills of our staff and listen to what they need and want. But we have to provide the situations and environment in which they want to do it in. Go on, ask them for feedback, they will still respect you in the morning.

Then, do a new survey and see the results. And by the way, let me know what they are!
