16 Apr 2019 Global Human Capital Trends: learning is the top-rated challenge

The Bersin Global Human Capital Trends report states that learning is the top-rated challenge among 2019’s Global Human Capital Trends. People now rate the “opportunity to learn” as among their top reasons for taking a job,and business leaders know that changes in technology, longevity, work practices, and business models have created a tremendous demand for continuous, lifelong development. Leading organisations are taking steps to deliver learning to their people in a more personal way, integrating work and learning more tightly with each other, extending ownership for learning beyond the HR organisation, and looking for ways to bring solutions we use in our daily lives into the learning environment at work.

Bersin sees three broader trends in how learning is evolving:

• It is becoming more integrated with work;
• It is becoming more personal; and
• It is shifting—slowly—toward lifelong models.

Organisations require a culture that supports continuous learning and incentives that motivate people to take advantage of learning opportunities. There should be a focus on helping individuals identify and develop new, needed skills.
