ABOUT LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT ASIA

In today’s learning landscape, businesses are scaling up training programmes to address the skills disruption, and to bridge labour market gaps. Effective reskilling and upskilling strategies are crucial for maximising business performance and achieving industry transformation. L&D leaders face pressure to align learning with business goals and demonstrate immediate ROI, especially during economic turbulence.

Human Resources Online’s flagship L&D conference, Learning and Development Asia is returning for its seventh annual edition this year on 20-21 September. This two-day event in Malaysia brings together leading learning practitioners, CHROs, CLOs, and thought leaders from the L&D community under one roof. This is an unrivalled opportunity for L&D professionals to learn, interact, and network. The programme offers the opportunity to hear from thought-leaders in the L&D space, combining a mix of interactive sessions, panel discussions, and proven case studies.

2023 Key Themes

Learning and Development Asia is laser-focused on delivering an impactful programme that addresses the toughest challenges and highest–priorities of the L&D community.

These are the four themes you can look forward to:

Learning design and experience

Engaging learning design and experiences are crucial for employee engagement and retention. By creating interactive and enjoyable learning opportunities, employees become more motivated, invested, and satisfied in their roles. This ultimately leads to increased engagement, improved performance, and higher employee retention within the organisation.

Future-focused talent development

With challenges such as technological advancements and job market demands, organisations must focus on future-focused talent development. By equipping employees with relevant skills and adaptability, organisations can future proof their workforce, foster innovation, and ensure competitiveness in a changing landscape.

Learning impact and measurement

Impact and measurement are vital for effective strategic learning delivery. By evaluating the effectiveness of learning initiatives, organisations align their strategic goals with desired outcomes. This enables informed decision-making, continuous improvement, and the ability to demonstrate the value and return on investment of learning programmes.

Strengthening strategic leadership

Amidst a changing work landscape, strong strategic leadership is essential to tackle uncertainty and rapid change. Developing leaders with a forward-thinking mindset, agility, and the ability to navigate complexity is crucial. This empowers organisations to guide their teams through transformation and thrive.
