Learning and Development

Training and development programmes that build employee skills and knowledge.

Full Definition

Learning and Development (L&D) encompasses all activities that help employees acquire new skills, knowledge, and competencies to improve their performance and advance their careers. L&D activities include formal training courses, e-learning, mentoring, coaching, job rotation, and conferences. A strong L&D strategy improves employee performance, increases engagement, reduces skill gaps, and supports succession planning. Investing in L&D also improves retention — employees are more likely to stay with organizations that invest in their development.
