Pallavi Kar, Associate Director, Human Resources, Tablespace Technologies speaks to India Employer Forum about L&D initiatives, advice for people in management roles and more.
She said, “Attrition is increasing in organisations, but attrition is increasing for employees or the workforce which is not ready to reskill or upskill themselves. While high attrition rates can be challenging in the shorter run, they drive organisations to focus more and more and invest more and more in Learning&Development. When companies face frequent turnover, they recognize that there is an inherent need to upskill and reskill their employees, and that’s what leads to increased investment and with L&D and HR’s evolving nature of work. Continuous learning has gained a lot of importance right now. Companies are recognising the importance of ongoing employee development so that they can stay competitive in the market so that they can also retain talent as well as attract new talent which is relevant to the particular field. So, there has been a very considerable shift towards more strategic and continuous L&D initiatives”.
“So, is L&D more into ROI and has the focus shifted? Yes, the return on investment is solid and a very important critical metric in the L&D space today. Any organisation when they’re investing in money, they’re seeking more measurable outcomes for any of their training programs. So, when I say ROI, it is not necessarily in terms of only the monetary benefit but also in terms of behavioural benefits. For example, let’s say I invested in a training program as An organisation. Has it been impactful for my employees and ensuring that their behaviour has changed? Thus, aligning them more towards the organisational objective or has it been a direct increase in terms of investment or a reduction in terms of attrition?”
