Learning focus #6

Jon and Kate look at two stories of encouraging L&D investment in the latest learning and skills focus for UNLEASH. Kate says: "So from recruitment and onboarding, and hiring for skills rather than experience through to talent management, succession, internal mobility - all of these different areas across which HR is trying to juggle so many balls - they talk about skills being that golden thread that connects everything, and I absolutely love that. Because this is proof-positive, right? Because they (Mercedes-Benz) would not be investing this kind of money were it not fundamental for the business; they're not doing this so nice-to-have, fluffy training program, or whatever - it is business critical."
