Learning and development, also known as L&D, refers to the system of training and education that organizations build to support employees in their career progression and to fill the skills gap. Continuous learning is a necessity as companies try to maintain a competitive edge in a time of digital transformation.
Some L&D departments are stand alone, while others fall under the Human Resources umbrella. Regardless, the post-COVID world is putting emphasis on learning, and therefore organizations often have some sort of leadership in place.
