The World of Learning Evolves Globally

The time has finally come for workplace learning and performance (WLP) professionals.

Throughout the world, there is a growing realization that the service-led and knowledge-driven economy is built on the acquisition of knowledge and skills by teams and individuals. And who better to create a situation for this knowledge acquisition to flourish than workplace trainers? Organizations are finally acknowledging the role WLP professionals play in this crucial talent management, according to a study conducted by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in the United Kingdom.

Three main conclusions have emerged from this year-long research project that involved 1,000 participants. First, the role of the WLP professional is becoming more important in every part of the world. Second, if trainers are to take advantage of this window of opportunity, they need to develop new techniques and a new mindset. And third, WLP professionals need to revisit their views on how cultural differences affect training and learning.

What is important to recognize is that there is no evidence to suggest that learning styles are related to national culture. It is our job to respect every individual as an individual, not characterize them by nationality.
