Janet Clarey joined #IDIODC February 9

Many Instructional Designers work within Human Resource departments.  So, it would make sense to learn as much as possible about the things that are important to HR leaders.  Learning and Development has been a hot topic for HR departments for many years.  However, in a post pandemic world suffering from "the great resignation" it is more important than ever.

Janet Clarey, from McClean & Company has released their 2022 HR Trends Report.  As a researcher familiar with the challenges of Learning and Development she is uniquely positioned to help us understand how these trends will impact instructional designers.

In preparation for this episode you can get the highlights of the report here.

And while all of the "Critical Insights" have some sort of Learning and Development component the most telling is this one:

"With tight labor markets a reality for many, hiring for aptitude and training for skills may well be the path forward for learning and development in an age of change."

Find all the comments from the chat and check out the full session.
