Human Resources and Learning and Development

The key factors and drivers behind this include:

• Business Requirements and Expectations  -  Organisations now expect HR to be a source of expertise and an enabler and facilitator for business change. As part of this, they are being required to be more accountable for contributing to business strategy and delivering real tangible business results.  This means they have changed the way in which they operate and interact with other parts of the organisation, as well as external suppliers and experts.

• An increasing professional approach from within the HR field  -  Within the whole arena of HR and Learning and Development there is a shift towards greater ‘professionalism’, from the increased profile of professional qualifications to the greater standing of HR as a full ‘business partner’.  HR experts and specialists are now focusing on working more closely with their peers and senior managers on demonstrating insight and adding value at strategic levels on all kinds of people and employment related matters.
