We can all recognise highly motivated and engaged employees when we see them. They're more productive, don't hold back, and go the extra mile. But why? The simple answer is because they want to. Their work inspires them, they believe in their organisation, and they feel connected to their goals. As a leader, how do you help create an environment where people feel engaged and motivated? Here are six strategies to help drive engagement and inspire your employees. Read more here: https://rebrand.ly/dmqlpht #leadership #engagement #motivation #productivity #culture

How do Hr and L&D demonstrate their impact on the bottom line and their contribution to meeting strategic objectives? One of the biggest challenges that HR and learning & development have is demonstrating impact on the bottom line and showing how it's contributing to the strategic objectives of the company in front of the board and key stakeholders. Here is one idea. Has voluntary attrition been discussed in your board room? Understanding your voluntary attrition level and comparing it to the national average is a boardroom conversation, at least. But delving into the numbers and their cost to the organisation gives L&D and HR a strategic role that can be measured. If organisations we work with don't have that data readily available we use our data. On average 12% of any team we work with say they will now stay at the company as a result of our programme when they were thinking of leaving. That means an organisation with 500 people can expect to retain 60 people. So what? What does this mean in terms of the bottom line and an ROI? Losing an employee costs anywhere between 50 and 120% of the employee's wage depending on experience and skillset (Gallup). So even the most conservative of estimates (50% of their wage) retaining 60 people even at a UK average wage (2021) of £31,285 (ONS) a year gives an ROI to that organisation £939k a year (minus cost of the programme). If this is not a boardroom level discussion, I don't know what is. Deciding what level of attrition is acceptable is a conversation by itself, let alone the cost to the company. "Is it in line with the national average (15%)? Are we happy with it?" Etc.  Then your learning and development strategy has a baseline on which you can measure its success. I'm assuming that those numbers are scary to most organisations, so they will dedicate resources to reducing voluntary attrition or maintaining it at current levels. L&D initiatives will be at the heart of this.  Attrition has a significant impact on the bottom line and meeting strategic objectives and by association, so does any L&D initiative to reduce it.

The case for demonstrating ROI in training isn't just about balancing the books; it's about transforming HR from a “nice-to-have” into a strategic powerhouse that fuels growth and change within any organisation. Showing the actual, quantifiable impact of training shifts L&D from being a soft-cost centre to an engine of measurable value. L&D isn’t an expense but an investment in the business’s DNA.

Rumination feels helpful, but all it does is cause you stress. It's easy to confuse rumination for planning or reflection, but if you are going around in circles, feeling negative emotions and taking no positive action, that's ruminating. Sound familiar? #resilience #thinking

Is Fear of Failure Holding You Back? Let’s Change That Whether we admit it or not, we all fear failure. It undermines our confidence and ability to stretch ourselves and dream big. It can even rob us of enjoying the life we want to lead. If we want to keep moving forward and learning, overcoming our fear of failure is essential. Let’s face it: fearing failure is not something we can throw money at, get someone else to do it for us, or even solve our way out of it. Our latest newsletter: Is Fear of Failure Holding You Back? Let’s Change That, shows you how to beat that fear of failure.

The biggest challenge in Learning & Development (L&D) today isn't tech, hybrid learning, or diverse methods—it's losing sight of what “good” L&D really means. Effective L&D is all about driving real, sustainable change in behaviour, not just delivering content or inspiring ideas. Too often, the industry is distracted by buzzwords and trends like AI or gamification, focusing on what and why without tackling how to create lasting change. True success comes from hands-on practice, real-world application, and habit formation, not just knowledge transfer. L&D needs to cut through the noise and prioritize results, not hype.

Data from LinkedIn in November 2022 highlights that there is a growing disconnect between what professionals want and what employers are now offering.
