October Chapter Meeting: How HR and L&D can bridge the gap between Learning & Performance

How HR and L&D can bridge the gap between Learning & Performance

The days of point-in-time performance reviews are disappearing. The modern workforce wants a continuous feedback loop to answer questions like:

• “How am I doing?”
• “Where am I headed?”
• “What training, learning, and development opportunities are available?”

But there’s a disconnect. While L&D professionals are tasked with training, learning, upskilling, reskilling, and more, human resources oversee performance and professional development plans alongside department heads.

During this session, you’ll:

• Learn why connecting learning and performance is crucial for organizations to drive performance, engagement, development, and retention.
• Discover how L&D leaders can cross the chasm and become part of the performance management conversation.
