To help L&D teams better engage employees, Degreed surveyed 512 people to understand how today’s workforce really builds their skills and fuels their careers. Here’s what we learned about the demand for learning and development.
In some organisations, the onboarding process is limited to the employee’s first few days of work, and involves little more than filling out some payroll and benefits paperwork, and completing some mandatory training. In others, the process extends up to a year and is thought to start at the recruiting and hiring experience. And some still have no formal onboarding process at all.
Performance management often is inconsistent and ineffective. According to recent Brandon Hall Group research, less than 50% of organisations have a formal process in place. The annual performance evaluation is a negative experience for managers and employees.
With rapidly changing business conditions, organisations need to formalise strategies around workforce management. Your workforce management strategy needs to focus on all the activities that are required to manage and sustain a productive, cost-effective and happy workforce.
