Five Challenges Learning and Development Departments face in Commissioning Training


In today's fast-paced business environment, Learning and Development (L&D) departments face numerous challenges when it comes to commissioning training. These challenges can significantly impact the effectiveness of training programs and the overall development of employees. Let's explore some of the key issues:

1. Budget Constraints

One of the primary challenges is budget availability. L&D departments often have limited funds to allocate for training, making it difficult to provide comprehensive programs that meet the needs of all employees. Balancing cost with quality is a constant struggle.

2. Suitability of Training Partners

Finding the right training partners is crucial. The suitability of these partners can vary widely, and selecting the wrong one can lead to ineffective training. It's essential to evaluate potential partners thoroughly to ensure they align with the organisation's goals and culture, and also have the gravitas and real-world experience to be credible with learners. You don't just want a "supplier" you have to 'manage', you want a Partner you can rely on to be honest and competent, and deliver on quality.

3. Time-Consuming Quotation Processes

The process of obtaining quotations from different training companies for each course can be incredibly time-consuming. This often involves speaking to multiple representatives within a single company for various aspects of the purchase and delivery process, leading to inefficiencies and delays. Course prices can vary wildly from provider to provider for what looks like the same thing, so how do you know which one is the right one to buy?

4. Employee Attendance

Getting employees to attend training sessions is another significant challenge. Busy schedules, lack of interest, and conflicting priorities can result in low attendance rates, undermining the effectiveness of the training programs.

5. Catering to All Performance Levels

Many training programs tend to focus on the top 10% or bottom 10% of performers within an organisation. This leaves the competent middle largely to their own devices or with generic solutions like LinkedIn Learning. It's crucial to have offerings that cater to all performance levels to ensure comprehensive development.
