The more an organization grows, the more complex its Learning and Development function must become. And in the modern business landscape, learning and development professionals have a duty to be increasingly ambitious about the impact their programs have on learners. With greater competition, more scrupulous consumers, and an ever-growing pool of technology with which to optimize work, L&D can have a greater business impact than ever before.To discuss the L&D moves that make organizations competitive in the 21st century, we speak with Kyile Stair, Chief People Officer at Litmos.

Trusted Learning Advisors: Earning Trust and Claiming a Seat at the Decision-making Table
Learning and Development Professionals have allowed themselves to behave as order takers since the function was first introduced in organizations. As an arena generally considered disconnected from the products or services of a company (read: non-revenue generating), decision-makers tend to treat L&D as an insular, periodic problem-solver. At-the-ready when training or upskilling needs to be made. On call to make modules that teach the newest software. Waiting to be asked to identify a subject matter expert to deliver a one-time training on leadership.What if, instead of accepting requests from leadership and acting on them to the...

Learning-Based Work: Moving Beyond Doing Work to Defining Work through Discovery & Dialogue
The relationship between learning and work is experiencing a period of rapid evolution. Whereas we once trained as apprentices or students for a very specific skill set that could reliably carry us through a lifelong career, we now enhance our abilities on a daily basis with the help of technology. Soon enough, we’ll have to embrace an entirely new paradigm that posits work as learning and learning as work within a system that encourages us to define our own roles through constant discovery of knowledge.So says Rachel Fichter, this week’s guest, who has spent years stud...

The (Dis)Comfort Quotient: Building Elite Teams, Attracting Top Talent, and Handling The Uncomfortable At Work
Workplaces are full of interpersonal tension. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, every office or team features people who simply aren’t meant to get along. Organizations are composed of stringent hierarchies, they often rely upon and incentivize competition, and, let’s face it, working requires a level of forced decorum. So, it’s time that we stop ignoring the uncomfortable interpersonal challenges, conversations, and expectations these systems deliver, and instead face them head on.Roberta Matuson’s prolific career started in one of the least comfortable ways imaginable–being thrown into executive leadership at the age of 24...

The Happiness Quotient: Giving Employees Opportunities to Craft Their Own Work Wellbeing Journeys

AI-Enabled Recruiting: Better Hiring and Personnel Management with Talent Intelligence
We’re long past the point of hiring locally and keeping a business to just one geographical place. The increasingly vast and complex talent pool organizations have to choose from has made the jobs of Human Resources and Recruiters much more intricate. In theory, being able to choose from 1,000 instead of just 10 applicants for a given position should have immense benefits–for candidates and for organizations. But to realize this value, the systems that provide larger pools of candidate data must empower those who use them to fully express their own abilities as people experts.So, where else woul...
